    Help with a turkey?

    Hope this is ok. I don’t know anywhere else to ask. I have a broad breasted bronze turkey that won’t move. If I move him he just lays back down. I can’t see anything wrong except some blood on his head where I’m guessing another turkey pecked him. He has a fluid filled bump near one eye. I have...
