    Turkey Disease

    I went ahead and sanitized the yard with bleach as well as their little coop after doing the humane thing.(After Katrina a few years ago Parvo started showing up all over our town and the vet said it was because of the flood waters. Anyway, before I could take the dog home from the vets I had to...

    Turkey Disease

    UPDATE... Upon checking on the turkeys this morning I find that one of them is in very bad shape. The sores on his nose are so bad that he can't breathe so I'm having my husband see that they don't have to suffer any longer. I just can't justify going any further with this. Now, my question is...

    Turkey Disease

    Thanks for your concern.... The turkeys are doing no worse, but also no better. The sores are beginning to scab over with the Neem and Karanja oil applications and I took all the straw from their house. There have been no new bites since then. I didn't find any skeeters in the house or pen (I...

    Turkey Disease

    Turkey Disease

    Turkey Disease

    I have 2 Bourbon Turkeys that are having the same problem. I'd really love to find out what this is. From my research I'm finding that this looks nothing like Pox, other than they have sores. I'm wondering if I should cull them, but I really hate to since they are still eating and drinking. It...

    Turkey's Sores Are BAD!! Please help!!

    I have a turkey about 1 month old that started to develop what seemed like a wart beside his eye about a week ago. I didn't think much of it until it started to get bigger. Then the brother started to develop one also and they both started getting sores on their beaks. I started them on a...

    Nest Box Sizes

    I'm sure it's here somewhere, but I can't find it. Of course this usually means it's right in front of me I need an idea on the size of nest boxes. My largest breed are RIR and I think I may have some Bantams or Cochins also. I have no idea on the size(s) of the boxes they'll need and I'd like...
