This is a turkey chick for transparency but i suppose it doesn't matter, it is a group of 5 chicks with their mother, they were all fine before yesterday when i noticed one chick couldn't walk right, it was jumping on one leg supporting itself by flapping its wings, i picked it up and inspected...
Hi,
One of my turkey hens recently laid some eggs and now that she hatched them out I noticed one turkey is blind in one eye! I noticed when I saw the grey color of it, and it's kind of cloudy, the poult is acting like every other poult I have, eating fine, walking fine drinking fine, but when...

I was thinking about giving my flock of 13 turkeys only wheat for their main food, to cut costs as it only costs around 15 cents/lb, keep in mind they wouldn't only eat the wheat since i let my turkeys out almost everyday I can and they forage for whatever they can find all year around, and in...
