Hurt keet..

[Lanicus]

So yesterday I was going to take all of the babies outside and as I was grabbing a keet it started flapping and freaking out and I didnt think that I hurt it and it seemed ok but today it can hardly stand and kind of hops/waddles to walk. It is still sorta active and eats and drinks fine, I cant tell if it's leg is hurt or its wing because it stretches its wing out when it walks but it limps, also, when it is sitting it rocks back on the bending part of it's leg, it's almost like it has no balance . What should I do?

If it's a hurt leg they will use the outstretched wing to help balance and take weight off of the hurt let, so it may just be a sprain or some bruising that happened and now it's more sore than it was yesterday. Keets/Guineas are pretty resilient, so as long as its still getting around and eating/drinking normally and isn't getting picked on it should just baby itself until the soreness goes away. You could check for broken bones, but my guess it's just a sprain or some bruising.

Ok that's what I thought. It's funny cause he still wants to run and play with the others but wobbles and falls alot! But he is eating and drinking normal. I have them with some bantam chicks and they seem to think he makes a nice perch :/
