My baby has been attacked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (photos)
My favorite JB roo is in the recovery pen, inside, after a horrible attack from one mean Guinea
I can't exactly see the actual main wound on his head but I'm thinking the dang Guinea severed part of the base of the comb near his neck & scraped some flesh off the last comb point & skull as well
Don't want to move it too much due to the amount of blood.
& poked a shallow hole in his back, near the base of his tail
It happened at some point today & I could only catch him @ dusk. Horrible site indeed my handsome man covered in red running in the snow
After cleaning him up as best I could for right now I ended up having to corn starch him to get the bleeding to stop. Going out in the AM so I will be getting some real clotting stuff & a few other items.
This comes completely out of the blue, yest I saw a guinea hold onto one of the hen's tail feathers, but it was right @ feeding time, so I dismissed it, as they ALL get into little tizzies when it comes to food.
Anyone else have any similar situations? How did you help your hen/roo out?
I was able to top the bleeding w/ the corn starch & after a few hours he is now settling down to go to sleep (way past his bedtime now)
Pardon his comb - he evaded me on vaseline day. He'll be inside for a few days to recover then will get slathered up real good. ****Oh yeah.... that guinea is getting taken care of... looks like I'll be cooking up something new this weekend -no room for bullies-
