    Sweetgrass Turkey Poults?

    Hey, everyone. I'm located in Northern GA and am looking for someone close to my home who has Sweetgrass turkeys and is willing to sell (or trade, maybe?) just one or two to me. I'm happy to drive a little ways to pick them up, as well. Thanks!

    Natural Remedies Against Mites?

    Hey, everyone. I made a post a few days ago about my sick turkey. Her poo is nearly normal, she's slowly eating pellets again, as well as tomatoes and chard, and I've been feeding her eggs 2-3 times per day. But she still seems slow and weak, and possibly getting weaker. I checked her for...

    Ill turkey... help, please!

    Hi, Frosty. That's a good idea! It doesn't really seem like blackhead to me either... to be honest, when she decided she didn't want the pellets, an obstruction was my very first thought. I've looked in her mouth, felt her throat, etc. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong. Unless I bring...

    Ill turkey... help, please!

    Thank you for your reply! I've thought of blackhead and so far this AM I've fed her eggs loaded with cayenne (she didn't really want them and fought pretty hard. But, she's normally a picky eater anyway and is hesitant to eat something she's never had before). Then, she ate three chard leaves...

    Ill turkey... help, please!

    Hi, everyone. I've got a turkey who has seemed under the weather for a few days (this is the third day). Normally, she's crazy for their feed (not to mention tomatoes, chard, and almost anything I throw out of the garden!), but has been disinterested in it. On the first day, she ate, but...

    My turkey is ill...

    @ Denninmi Thank you for the advice! I don't know if they have Tylan here. I'm going to check and see what the vet has right away. I certainly hope he gets better...

    My turkey is ill...

    We do actually have a place for them to take dust baths. He had none on his body, just neck and head. These bugs were quite small, but were attached in the same way as ticks. The larger ones, filled with blood, looked just like ticks. I'm thinking it's possible they could be something akin...

    My turkey is ill...

    Hi, there. This is my first post here, and unfortunately, it's because one of my turkeys is sick. I have three turkeys, two of which I hand raised (my first ones, though I've kept chickens and ducks for many years). The two I hand raised are Broad Breasted Bronzes, and the third is a Broad...
