    New turkey owner. Freaking out about blackhead.

    I guess, I should have stated "so as not to confuse anyone, or misguide them". I would never want to cause more harm than good. It's all good.

    Blackhead, turkeys and cayenne!!!

    I also use ACV their water. I ferment their feed and add oregano (I'm making my own oregano oil -- uber expensive to purchase! found instructions on pintrest) crushed/minced garlic, cinnamon and the cayenne. I make a 5 gallon bucket everyday and ferment for 3 days. I call it "chicken crack"...

    Kathy that is one I was referring to. Preventative feed additives: Histostat (active ingredient is Nitarsone) is an effective preventative feed additive and can be premixed into feed. It is a non-organic additive that contains arsenic and is the only drug approved for the prevention of...

    Possible sick Broad Breasted Bronze

    Kathy, mine were still eating, just lethargic. As far as treating, my point was that if you treat this incident, it will return, over and over because the parasite lives in the soil. Using cayenne pepper has been shown to reverse the severity of the disease. With a large flock like mine...

    Blackhead, turkeys and cayenne!!!

    **this is my personal experience with an outbreak of blackhead in my turkey flock. If your turkeys are showing signs and not eating, this method may not work for you and prescription medication may be warranted. Also take care in reading labels and warnings if your turkeys are a meat stock or...

    New turkey owner. Freaking out about blackhead.

    Or just use ground cayenne pepper in their feed! This really does work. We lost two with 6 others having having yellow frothy poo, we really socked the ground cayenne to them and we haven't lost one since (6 months ago) American pastured poultry producers did a study on cayenne and backhead...

    Possible sick Broad Breasted Bronze

    Yellow frothy poo could be blackhead. You can stop this immediately by giving them ground cayenne pepper in their feed. Start with alot! Like make the feed orange, then about a week later keep it at a good dusting over fresh feed. We lost 2 to blackhead before we figured out what it was. You...

    Heat Exhaustion in turkey

    How is he doing? We had that problem here. I added a sprinker and the turkeys would migrate over and stand in the spray to cool off. I had a baby pool too, and they would stand in that as well.

    Feathers? Illness or molt?

    Could be feather loss to to a feed that I'd not high enough in protein. They need a game bird feed or a feed specifically for turkeys. We use game bird. We also give them black oil sunflower seeds, I've raised BB turkeys, white and bronze and they never looked like this. I also have heritage...

    Will turkeys and chickens kill each other if they are hungry cuz they don't like their food?

    I agree! We switched our turkey feed once, they refused to eat it, got hungry and starting fighting like mad! We quickly went back to the other. The poults need to big as big as chickens when added to an established flock. It was very hard to add a full grown turkey to an established turkey...

    Considering rising some turkeys. Looking for some insight

    If you're starting now you need broad breasted in order to finish by the holidays. They do not breed because they are a meat turkey and their breast get too big to mate naturally. Next year consider starting heritage in spring and you'll have a nice turkey by the holidays. Then you can keep...

    Turkey disease help please

    I feed our flock game bird feed by nutrena. They need a higher protein than chickens. They love zucchini - the big ones sliced in half and with the cut side up. This is how I train them to coop at night. I get them used to it in early summer and then I start putting them in the coop (the...

    Cecal Worms

    I was under the misguided information that only poults could get blackhead, these are my 2-3 year old heritage and have been with the chickens for over a year. My favorite hen was lost to blackhead last week while I was trying to figure out why she was so lifeless...I found the dreaded...

    Cecal Worms

    The directions on the bag and everywhere on the internet do not give a time frame for dosing. I have a flock of 120-- that would be $629 over the 6 weeks period -- can you point me to the research? I must use it, as my turkeys got blackhead from the chickens....
