    Turkey swallowed a foam table tennis ball.

    One of my turkeys ran into the house when I was opening the door today. He found an orange foam ball and immediately swallowed it. It was about an inch in diameter. He swallowed it so it is not stuck in his throat.

    What killed my turkey? Everything gone except neck and head.

    Does anyone know what predator could have killed my turkey. One of my bourbon red hens was in a bush dead. I have a flock of ten turkeys • Only the head and neck were left, however it was seemingly untouched aside from being pulled off of the body • The feathers were not too scattered, but there...
