Is she a broad breasted type? They can get bald tummies from sitting on the ground. If that is the case, about all you can do is make sure she has lots of bedding where she sleeps.

Yes she is. Thank you very much, Frosty! I'll do that and see if she gets better!
Hi there.
I have a turkey and I noticed tonight when I was putting her in her coop that her tummy was bald. It's extremely cold outside and I've already separated her so a wound in her shoulder could heal without my chickens pecking on it. I don't have any other turkeys in there with her and...
By the way. I forgot to add but he's never actually been by himself .... ever. So I'm not sure if it would be good to be alone for him and its been getting cold at night. He has a dog house with straw in it but.... I don't know.
Hi there.
So my turkey is about 6 or so months old and had gotten a small wound on his shoulder. I've been putting bluecoat on it but my chickens (I have him in the same coop as them) have still been pecking it. It has gotten a lot worst so I separated him but he is EXTREMELY unhappy about it...
I have 22 RIR's . They are suppose t lay enough (only have one laying at the moment) and they are good mamas. But they are aggressive in some cases, I do have about 3 that didn't like it at all when I tried to introduce the new chicks to them but the rest of them seem to like them. We did get...
At the moment I only have one of my 16 laying but they others are close to it. I've just taken one of my old easter baskets and glued some stuffing on the bottom and around the edges then put some shreds of fabric in it (for looks if nothing else lol) and I don't think it will break the eggs or...
I have a big box I made out of wood in there. Origanally I made it for my older ones for when they were younger to sleep in but now I close the door and my babies can get in through a space in the back of it. It doesn't seem to help much though because I can't just stick my turkey in there...
I have 6 5or6 week old RIR's and a 5or6 week old turkey. They all get along great but I tried to introduce them to my flock of 11 RIR's and 5 Americanas and it was a disaster! My bigger ones were pecking at my little ones and it made me feel horrible!
Is there anything that I can do to help my...
Well I have them on just normal Starter or something like that. And I just boaught a whole trashcan full of it to plus my half filled one to -.-
But I guess I can try to switch them over
And thanks!
Hello all! I just got my very first egg today from my chickens!
It made me all happy
Anyway, is there anything special things I need to give/do for them now that they are starting to lay? If it helps at all (I don't see how it would but) there are 5 Americanas and 11 RIRs.
