Meningitis in Adults Quick Overview. Meningitis is a potentially life-threatening infection of the meninges, the tough layer of tissue that surrounds the brain and the spinal cord. If not treated, meningitis can lead to brain swelling and cause permanent disability, coma, and even death.
i moved my 3 ducks outside at 2 weeks for the same reason. we didnt use a heat lamp but they are housed with 2.5 mo old chicks to help stay warm. the temp has dropped into the low 40's and the birds have been fine outside for 2 weeks now. as long as you have the heat lamp they should be fine.
I keep them at the same standards as I keep chickens. They are from warmer climates too, so I figure 8 weeks before they can be turned out.And YES guineas LOVE to free range! They'll roost in trees too if you want them to...sometimes if you don't want them to.. keep them at the same standards as I keep chickens. They are from warmer climates too, so I figure 8 weeks before they can be turned out.
