Hi Chevalblanc,
Welcome to the farmingfriends forum. I am so sorry to hear about your two poor keets. It is terrible when the poor little keets get sick. it is always hard to know what is wrong and sometimes they don't show signs til it's too late.
You asked for advice, so here goes. Make sure they have warm water and add marbles to the drinker to stop the keets putting their heads into the drinker.Make sure that the chick crumbs are in a feeder where they don't spill out so that they don't peck off the floor.
The litter should be fresh, dry and mould free. Keep the litter as fresh as possible as damp litter can cause illness and dirty litter laden with droppings can too as the keets will nibble at the droppings and this can lead to coccidiosis.
Make sure that there are no draughts and that the brooder is warm as this can reduce pasting up.
I have read that pasting up can be related to stress caused by being moved about.
If the keets do get pasted up then it is important to remove all the droppings with a damp cloth but then make sure that the vent area is dried quickly so the keet doesn't get chilled and that any more droppings do not stick to the damp feathers.
Also making sure the keets get plenty of water so that it flushes out their system and stops them from dehydrating is a good idea.
Just to let you know that I have just written an eBook about Incubating, Hatching And Raising Guinea Fowl Keets costing £3.50 http://farmingfriends.com/incubating-hatching-and-raising-guinea-fowl-keets-ebook-for-sale/
Hope this is useful. Let us know if you get anymore guinea fowl keets and good luck.
Kind regards
