    Turkey Attacked and Killed a chicken and I cannot understand why

    That's what I think could have happened. I know she wasn't dead before he attacked her because I went in there to do something and found her body and she was still a little warm but should could have been sick or dying over the past few days while I was dealing with emergencies. I didn't see any...

    Turkey Attacked and Killed a chicken and I cannot understand why

    Wish I could show you the video. I totally believe what you say about this and when toms try to breed with chickens but he in no way tried to stand or be near her for mating. I've seen the sort of stomp mating thing before with turkeys when he thought a shoe was a good girlfriend. It was a...

    Turkey Attacked and Killed a chicken and I cannot understand why

    That's what I thought it could be but he wasn't holding onto her in any way shape or form. It was a peck and then pause for 10 seconds, it was ample amount of time for the chicken to leave

    Turkey Attacked and Killed a chicken and I cannot understand why

    My Tom broad breasted turkey attacked and killed my favorite chicken yesterday morning and I cannot understand why and maybe you guys have some ideas. I have a 2 yo BB Turkey who has been raised with chickens (I know not the best idea but it happened) and he has NEVER shown any aggression...

    Turkey roost question

    If I get him a hen will he turn more aggressive towards me? or do you think it's too late to find him a hen? I've been told by a friend who has more turkeys that he would be more aggressive towards me since he would have a hen to protect

    Turkey roost question

    Thank you so much, Im actually pretty sure you told me about the breed name before I just keep mixing them up on a previous post xD. I didn't have any issues of my turkey trying to breed them this past spring but I'll keep an eye out, they spend very little time actually in the coop, I have an...

    Turkey roost question

    My tom Bronze breasted turkey hasn't had a roost bar for the last 6ish months because he had a case of bumble foot that made it near impossible for him to get up on a bar and I was afraid he was going to hurt himself more or something. He of course isnt happy that all his chicken friends are up...

    Sex Of Turkey

    Yeah there's just a thin little line of feathers growing up the neck. Do you have any advice on keeping everyone safe and happy together?

    Sex Of Turkey

    Im so sorry to keep bothering you with my turkey. I just wanted to share some more photos of them (I was playing some turkey sounds on my phone to see if they would gobble, but they kinda just puffed up a tiny bit) Im worried if it's a Tom I'll have to rehome it because I've read about how they...

    Sex Of Turkey

    Does my Turkey seem to still be giving off Hen vibes? Also do they all have a little nub on their chest for where a beard would be, even if they are a male or female? Still no strutting around or gobbles. Does a ton of Cluck purs and just started doing yelping calls to me today.

    Sex Of Turkey

    It's been another month and I cant believe how much my bronze breasted turkey has grown! They are 3 months old now (I know still probably way too early to officially tell) but any hints on the gender? No gobbles and no strutting.

    Sick Hen

    Unfortunately she passed away today. There was no egg in her poop during the whole thing. The reason I thought she might be egg bound at the start was she was just standing around, "Hunkered down", eyes closed when she could. I've had an egg bound hen in the past who acted the same way and I was...

    Sick Hen

    Hi everyone, about 7 days ago my hen was showing signs of being egg bound and I did a warm bath and checked her vent (didn't notice anything). I also started her on some amoxy-tyl for any infection she might have. She didn't get worse but she also didn't really improve all that much. She would...

    Guess on the sex of my turkey?

    I know it's probably too early to tell but I'm leaning towards hen? I read online that males usually go compleatly bald while females have a line of feathers going down their necks. This turkey is 8 wks old.

    Chicken with swollen goopy eyes, and gurgly breathing.

    I've rinsed her eyes once last night and twice today and both are still very swollen, one swollen shut. Im giving her Amtyl until the Tylosin arrives in the next few days. Is there anything I should do to help reduce the swelling?

    Chicken with swollen goopy eyes, and gurgly breathing.

    Update: No improvement but she hasnt gotten any worse. Still very fiesty and alert. I had thought she had issues breathing but she breathes fine with her mouth open. Her nose and eyes are just swollen and stuffed.

    Chicken with swollen goopy eyes, and gurgly breathing.

    I dont notice any odor or super thick mucus coming out of her nose, it seems to be just runny liquid that dries a kinda brown yellow. I'll for sure do the eyewash. Honestly after reading what MG is I wouldn't surprise me if that is what is it. All of my chickens come from the same rural breeder...
