turkey

Hi guyz! While I don’t really have a question as such, I thought this was such an interesting crazy thing to happen, I might as well document it on here! Sooo my beautiful Turkey girl Irene (rescued from the Xmas dinner trade, lol) recently decided to get it on with my adorable stag Bronson...

Has anyone ever put any kind of patch over the eye of a bird? I am wondering if I can do this safely. I have a turkey poult with a blind eye and the way she eats is to tilt her head so that the blind eye is actually IN the food. This causes the food to get pushed into her eye and eye socket...

I recently purchased 6 Bourbon Red turkeys, they all arrived in good condition and alert. A few were a little sleepy but seemed to perk up as they settled into their home. On day 3 of having them (they were 5 days old) I came home and found one dead. I quickly removed it and spent a little...

This is on behalf of my sister. We are states away so I can't inspect on my own. She just noticed this. I'm not even sure WHAT it could be, it's under the turkey's chest. It seems to have randomly showed up within a couple of days because she hasn't noticed it before. She says it is "fused" to...

Hi, I’m new to backyard chickens! my turkey poult (almost 3 weeks old) is the only turkey amongst ducklings and chicks. He was doing fine and was very active and happy until earlier today when he started screaming constantly and running around everywhere only stopping to itch his neck or stab...

I have a week old turkey poult who I believe is blocked up. They aren't doing good. They've been crying a lot almost constantly for 2 days. I assumed it was because it was imprinted, and was just crying bc it missed me. I thought something might be wrong but I was afraid if I asked I'd just get...

Me and my sister got a turkey a couple weeks ago and yesterday we looked at her and her foot was twisted sideways and she wasnt walking right

I can find no recent information or research online regarding turkey pheasant hybrids. There are some historical articles, however, nothing seems to indicate the ability as of recent inquiries. Well, here we have a turkey pheasant hybrid incubated from a egg we took from our blue slate hen. We...

Hello, 3 week old turkey poult has been sick for the past week or so, finally narrowed it down to canker after discovering yellow lesions under his tongue and his swollen chin. He has been living with other turkeys this whole time so we’re going to treat them all. We wanted to go down the copper...

I am at a loss...and just don't know what to do now. We have a grown bourbon red hen turkey that has the following symptoms... She was laying eggs until about a week or so ago. I didn't notice any egg binding or prolapse that needed treatment during this time. We first noticed a full crop...

My Turkey is a little over a week old now. Can someone help me with what type it is?

(Reposted here as i posted this in turkey thread before seeing this section sorry) Hello! My 2 week old bronze turkey poult Beans has started kind of gagging and choking last night? He kept sticking his throat out with his mouth open and gurgling so I wasn’t sure if he was choking or something...

Hello! My 2 week old bronze turkey poult Beans has started kind of gagging and choking last night? He kept sticking his throat out with his mouth open and gurgling so I wasn’t sure if he was choking or something. I gave him water after massaging his crop a little but the problem persisted. He...

Hi there! So, soon i will be getting some Narragansett turkey poults. I have kept turkeys once before, but ended up having to sell them as we were in the city and they were spending more time running around the neighborhood than in our yard. FINALLY we have 25 acres in a rural area, and I am...

I’ve had problems with humidity in the incubator but overall it hasn’t been too bad until now. 9 out of 11 turkeys hatched fine but I have two that are gasping for air, every time they breathe it makes a sticking popping sound which I guess means they have some sort of fluid in their lungs. I’m...

Hello! I am new here, not new to chickens (and an aviary with many other types of birds). I have a very interesting question. I have tried to research and cannot find anything. I have a solo turkey hen in the aviary and a ring-neck pheasant pair. The male pheasant has been "mating" with my...

Hello I have about an 8-9wk old turkey poult with splayed leg. We've tried a hobble to keep her leg underneath her, but while it seemed to be working it didn't. Vet said to keep her hanging off the ground and see if gravity can help fix the issue (as well as some vitamins) and while I was able...
