Hi Everyone,
My guinea hen has pretty much stopped walking. A few weeks ago, she started limping on one leg, so I checked her for swelling, cuts, etc, but saw nothing. I've continued to check but there is no sign of the injury. The guy that I got her (and my others) from told me that she would most likely get better and to let her be, but it's been almost 3 weeks and she's been getting worse instead of better. Last week, she didn't come back when everyone else did. I found her in a bush and I ended up carrying her back to the coop and she hasn't left since. She doesn't move much at all, and when she does, she uses her wings to push herself. I keep food and water next to her, and she eats millet at the end of the day when I give it to all of my birds. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks!
