Help my Guemuinea wont walk

[Dani93]

Last night everyone was perfectly fine and then this morning one of Guineas cant walk. She can flap around but cant even stand. Shes a standard pearl Guinea. They are free range and cooped in the night. I feed all flock. Anyone have any idea what could be happening?

We need a lot more information to be able to help. How old is the guinea? Is it a hen? Is or was it laying eggs? If your hens are laying eggs, are giving them oyster shell free choice?

About 7 months and I think it's a female. Everyone gets oyster shells free choice. I dont believe it's an egg bound issue.

Guinea hens that are laying can lose their motor control due to a calcium deficiency. If she is not laying, it is not likely a calcium deficiency problem.
