This is my first question about keets.

[Mixedbirdies]

Ok. So I got some keets (baby guinea fowl) a couple weeks ago. I got five to start with and three of them died. The last two's feet are getting a little white. Is this just dry skin or something? I'd love to know!

Welcome to BYC. Do you know why the others died ? Are the remaining keets in apparent good heath otherwise ?

We do not know how the others died. One of them couldn't stay awake and it was weeks old so it wasn't just because it was young. It would just fall down and sleep. And I think the other ones might have gotten trampled. But yes the last to are as healthy (and crazy) as ever!

Maybe you are dealing with Coccidiosis.
