Something is wrong with Bob

[PeepsCA]

Glad to hear Bob's improved and is eating.

The off center tail thing might be from him getting swiped at by a predator (or loose dog) possibly which has made him a little sore or stiff so he's favoring one side of his body. Maybe he landed wrong jumping/flying down from somewhere high? Maybe he has a pinched nerve under his shoulder blade?

LOL... It's impossible to say or guess what he could have done or what could have happened to him. I haven't ever noticed any of my Guineas' tails being off center before, so I am just guessing as to a reason they'd show that symptom

My Guineas do tend to pout/mope and act a little different for a day or 2 after they have gotten injured somehow or even whomped on by another Guinea tho. I'd keep them in, give Bob a little extra TLC and watch him for another day or 2 if you can. Hopefully he continues to improve and the rest of the flock hangs in there til he is up to par

Bob does seem to be healing from whatever his problem was and hopefully he will continue to get better. I did let them out of the coop this morning since they stick around close to the coop during the morning hours. I got some more sweet feed yesterday, which I use to bribe them back into the coop, they just love it.

Bob does seem to be weaker on his left side, that was the side he was stumbling on. His tail is still off center this morning but he was flapping hard this morning as he came running/flying out of the coop this morning. I did notice that Rocky was not playing the "charging" game with him since Bob has not been up to par. The rest of the guineas have stuck close to him and have not shown any signs of pecking at him or attacking him in any way.

It's been a couple days, just looking for a recent update on Bob... still improving hopefully?

Do guineas get worms like chickens? If Bob were a chicken I would think he sounded a bit wormy.......
