Hi! I am a new Turkey poult "Mom" of less than a week. My first poultry ever. One of my two three week old babies has a scrape/cut on top of beak that I would like to clean off and put something on to prevent infection but don't have a clue what to use. Its not bad, but would like to keep it that way. It was a bruise yesterday and a sore today--I think from banging the beak on the 1/4 in coated wire on side of the pen... I was going to use the Veterycin spray I use on all the other pets & horses on Q tip but wasn't sure if that was OK for turkeys--or it OK to use something like neosporin... I want to make sure I am doing the correct thing for the little one, and don't kill her with kindness or ignorance. Advice appreciated!

I like everything about it except how it looks right now. I know it lays decently. It is a great part of my great waterfowl flock. -
First, watching a runner duck run is awesome. They can find their own food. They aren't like pekins in water. Mine haven't started laying but I heard their decent. -
Its not as fat and slow as a pekin, but its not frail either. I want a mallard but I don't want a flying bird. The rouen is great for that. -
They are my calmest birds and are easiest to catch. They eat less than Pekins. I heard they also lay well, but mine are younger.
