Hi Janiemp55, that sounds awful! I’m sorry that you are dealing with this. Guinea fowl are reasonable cold hardy if they have good shelter, feed, water, etc. It sounds like you have something else going on, maybe a respiratory or crop disease. Guinea fowl have many of the same diseases and health problems that chickens do. I’d post on the diseases forum for help. However, if at all possible, you need to take some of the freshly dead birds to be necropsied. That’s really how you will get answers out what’s wrong with them. All states have a state veterinary diagnostic lab. You need to find yours and contact them. It can be expensive, but many states will necropsy at a reduced cost as part of their avian influenza monitoring program. I think this is your lab. Make sure to directly ask whether your can participate in their influenza monitoring program to reduce the cost of necropsy. I sincerely hope that the rest of your flock recovers.
