    Tom died rapidly.

    Last night when I was taking care of my stock, I noticed one of my breeding toms was laying down, unusual for mating season. I went in his tractor, and he stood up when I touched him. He seemed a tad lethargic, but nothing extreme. He wasn’t strutting at all, which concerned me a bit, and he...

    Scabby patches on wattle.

    One of my toms has these scabs on his wattle. He is the only tom in an enclosure with four hens. All the birds appear to be acting normally and do not appear sick. Any ideas?

    Sick Turkey?

    So I have some Narragansett turkeys that are almost three months old. One of them is not as as active as the others over the past few days. It is mostly just standing still with its head tucked in like a vulture, bobbing its head and tensing its neck muscles. It almost looks like it is trying to...
