I would wipe what I could off w/o sanding or water and hope for the best.

are you able to get him into the coop or yard at all? maybe with a treat? it is easier to catch them in the dark

. He still goes in and out but never goes on the ground.

This is my first time ordering eggs. Is it normal for them to ship eggs this dirty? And I would have thought they would overnight them?

i would be embarassed to ship an egg in that condition- but waterfowl eggs do tend to be messy, i wouldn't wash, maybe pick the larger chunks off?? and let them rest pointy side down for 24 hours before putting them in the bator

Quote: so he can access food and water without going to the ground? interesting set up- does he seem to be in pain? here is a link to the guinea fowl international forum- they should be able to help with ideas-

He goes on the ground in the coop when it is closed and no ones around but he still seems to be the dame weight.
