Solid coconut oil, unrefined, will tx staph as well. What I'm using (liquid/MCT) has the lauric acid in it, but not to the higher amt in unrefined that is needed for staph, so thanks for clarifying the bacteria, that's important to know. In refined MCT, the lauric acid is put back in primarily into cooking oils bc it's non-stick. (My dentist loves my teeth). So the liquid would be a good preventative but not tx. Thanks!
There's one in every crowd. Fortunately that seems to have been a passing phase-that or he's too busy licking the coconut oil from his own feet.Oh, guineas must be full of personality. Lol. What other bird would have the time and ambition to go around pecking someone else's feet?
Oh, I must get me some guineas. Immediately.There's one in every crowd. Fortunately that seems to have been a passing phase-that or he's too busy licking the coconut oil from his own feet.

And I respect your strategy . Maybe the next time I have an aggressive rooster I should just slather some cake frosting on the side of the coop. The DO have tiny brains. Maybe they just need some redirection and incentive
In all honesty, I'm not sure what worked- I'm finding guinea rearing abt like child-rearing-no owner's manual but lots of anecdotal advice-boredom, seeking attention-toys &more 1 on 1. Toys-meh. They like the branch I installed in the brooder & neck rubs. Being goosed in the tail feathers may have been just as effective. (A slight nudge & he jumps). But I have to admit, they are a source of entertainment!
