    Bumblefoot

    My Black Spanish boy has a swollen pad on the bottom of his foot. I’m worried it might be Bumblefoot. He won’t allow me to handle him. Any ideas about stress free wrangling for us both so I can get a closer look. Also, treatment???

    Pet turkey seems sick

    Gilbert, a pet turkey in Georgia, has been molting. Recently, he has been refusing to get off his roost and we have to force him off after he's been on there for more than a day. He has terrible diarrhea and has barely been eating. We don't know if if this is because of the molting season or...

    Mites and other questions

    I have a pet male black turkey. He is a big pet and is loved by our family. He showed up at my mom and dad‘s house when my dad was in hospice and has been a great source of laughter and entertainment when it was hard to find throughout dad‘s illness and death.
