Hatching
Hi everyone! Greetings from NJ! I've been raising chickens for almost a year and it's made me the happiest I've ever been. I never gave much thought to posting until this morning. I know this should go into the behavior thread, but I guess this initial posting makes it a "one stone" kind of thing, so here goes. Aside from the chickens, we also have a helmeted guinea. The problem is, the rooster severely damaged his eye last night. The guinea generally lets himself out of the pen in the mornings and he didn't today so I knew something was up. I need the rooster, but am VERY attached to my Wheet-wheet (guinea's name). Not quite sure if the eye is lost, but the lids are swollen shut. He's usually a very gregarious and sweet bird, who can sometimes be a bully, now he's just, meh. Anyone have any ideas about how to help him? Or keep them both peacefully? Also if anyone has a guinea hen that needs a home, I think he needs a companion of his own.
