Turkey hen swollen eye and cut wattle

countryboy9288 · Jul 23, 2014

Hello, first time on... I have a young female Royal Palm. She has three Toms with her and they are all the same age (about 3+) months old. Yesterday I noticed one eye swollen shut and her wattle had a couple of cuts on it (dried blood). Not sure what to do to treat her. I haven't heard any weezing or other problems. She is still feeding and drinking as far as I can tell. I read another thread where someone said to rinse with contact solution and put medicated ointment on the lid. Does that sound correct??

That's fine (if you can get Terramycin eye ointment that would work as well). I'd probably separate her from the males until she heals up, or observe them very closely to see who is doing what to whom.
