I bought it to dust with...under the deck, mostly. Neither dog lays under there right now...and the keets are confined to their coop. I wanted to find something for them to dustbathe in. Should they be pulling their flight feathers out now? They're only five and a half weeks old...

What do you mean with 'pulling feathers out'? Are they enacting in self harm or harming one another?

I use safeguard for all my birds. Peacocks, Guinness and chickens. 4 ml to one gallon of water for three days. This has to be the only source of water. The safeguard is for goats at the Tractor supply.. It has worked for mine..

I'm not sure...I keep finding wing feathers on the floor of the coop...I wish I had a camera...I can't watch them 24/7, so I don't know...I saw one of the pearls grooming its' wing and pulled out a feather...but the next day, Gizmo had bloodied Piper's neck and break...So I pulled Gizmo out of the coop for about thirty minutes...

Sometimes when their feathers are coming in it irritates them so they will pull them out. That's not all to common though. How large is the coop you are keeping them in. Guineas need lots of space and high perches or they will tend to fight with one another. It could also be from boredom so you should put some treats in for them and maybe let loose a few crickets in the coop for them to chase after. Be sure the crickets are all eaten or you will have a problem. I usually put a couple less than my guinea amount that way they all get eaten even though a few guineas do not get any.

The coop is 68x68x68 inches..A frame...I put a wind chime in there today, and a plastic chain for them to play with...I also have a mirror for them...I hope to start on a run soon...

I also use the Safeguard for goats BUT I also give them pumpkins to eat.
Ill break the pumpkins in half and the guineas get some,,,
the chickens and ducks get some,,,and the peafowl get some...
they love it and with the water source having the safeguard in it. I feel
sure everyone gets wormed....(the ducks eat the least of the pumpkin)
