I have 5 guineas, only one of them is a hen. I had two hens, but one was attacked by a neighbor dog. So, this one hen limps a little, but it doesn't seem interfere with life too much except that she is a little slower. Could this be why my male guineas shoo her away from food, run up to her with their wing feathers all puffed up? Do they think she is inferior or something, or are they all fighting over her? They also do this to each other (rushing) and I am confused.
As to the limp, I've never seen anything on the bottom of her foot, but isn't there something called bumblefoot? Does this occur in all birds?
