Last week Friday (4/4) my husband checked on our Guineas in the AM only to find one dead. He cleaned the cage and kept an eye on the rest; especially when another started to act weird (laying down away from others). He saw her lay an egg, left, came back an hour or so later - dead. We kept a very close eye on the others and threw away all eggs produced. We also had the wild game bird feed checked and it turned out OK. We still got rid of that bag and bought a new bag. All was going well for about a week when we noticed another hen acting funny (4/9). Husband heard a commotion in the evening, checked it out - another dead. We both left for a few days but did notice another laying by herself, pretty happy to just lay on the ground. My sister checked on them Thursday and all alive but the one was still laying on ground and only ran away when approached. I came home this evening (4/11) to find two dead hens.
We are at a loss. Don't know for sure but think the wattles have lost coloration (red to white). The hens seem fine then don't and are then dead within a day.
The fowl have been going outside pretty regularly.
HELP!!!!
