    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.

    Male or female?

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

    She was almost three months old and she was an early layer. Don’t they usually take the neck and head?

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...
