    Needing Help For Limping Turkey

    Thank you, I do give them all flock feed. I noticed today she cannot lay down. She gets tired and tries, but stands right back up again. I am thinking it is a keel injury or hip dislocation.

    Needing Help For Limping Turkey

    I'm sorry if this is not posted in the correct place... I haven't been on this website in a few years and things have changed. I have been rescuing neglected chickens and other birds for 10 years. Mostly chickens and parrots, but I'm not as knowledgeable regarding turkeys. Anyway, last year...

    Is anyone familiar with microscoping fecal samples?

    Neon yellow poop, sick chicken (NOT cecal poops)

    I have seen the poop chart and I have talked to my vet. They are the ones who helped me send the cecal sample to the state lab. They don't know what else to try either. I really don't know what else to try. I have some PenG.. maybe I should give her a penecilin injection...?

    Seeking advice for turkey with eye issue...

    Darn.. can't use the spurs to tell age, as the breeder trimmed them. Is there a separate turkey emergency thread or just post in general emergencies?

    New to turkeys.. seeking advice.

    I know most people keep turkeys for food, but my chickens are just pets, and these gals will be also for pets. Does anyone know the average life span of a pet turkey??

    Thanks for the reply. My biggest concern is how winter will be for this crossbeak baby. I unfortunately live where it can be well below zero for days at a time. Last winter we had -18..-20.. for example. If his tongue gets this dry in spring I worry about the harsh winter. Might have to...
