Thanks, Clucky Jay, that is definitely it.
We would rather do as much natural as possible so we have not vaccinated in the past. We will have to see how big of a problem this will be and then reevaluate.
Thank you all again.
I am sorry it has taken me so long to get a picture uploaded but here it is. We have had black on some combs before but it has always gone away. Could it be frost bite?
I went out to feed the chickens today and one of my buff orpingtons has black wart like things on her comb and on her eye. She is now seperated and in the chicken hospital. ha ha
Do you know what this is?
Thank you Lilredhippie for the encouragement. I feel like I am going crazy. Like I said I quarantined the turkeys overnight and I looked for any signs of diarrhea or anything abnormal this morning and couldn't find anything. They all jumped down off the roost and ate and drank fine.
I am...
I wanted to update. I have quarantined my turkeys and everyone's poo looks fine. No sulphur yellow color. One of my chickens did look a little runny today but not a strange color. They are all still eating and drinking fine. I did add Wazine to their water for worming. Any other...
I may be reading to much into the symptoms for blackhead but it seems like they take longer to die with blackhead. Literally our turkeys are eating and drinking fine one day and dead the next. Thank you so much for all of the help!!
They free range so it is hard to notice but like I said I am quarantining them tomorrow. What color should I be looking for and what does it mean? Should I be looking at the chickens poo, as well? I really want to save these last 7 turkeys. I think I am also going to fence them another area...
They free range on a very large area, like 2 acres, and chickens do go through the fence some. They stay pretty seperate and do have seperate coops. They are 18 wks. old. It's sounding more and more like Cocci. I am planning to quarantine the rest of them in a horse trailer for a few days...
We are having the exact same prob. with our Bourbon Reds. I am very interested in what you find out it is. I am going to call the vet tomorrow. We started out with 15 and are down to 7. What hatchery did you get yours from?
We have had two Bourbon Red turkeys to get sick and die. They died weeks apart. We thought the first one was a flook, as noone else was sick but then today we went out and one was listless and then died. They were all fine yesterday. What could the cause be? They literally look fine one day and...
They are free range in a very large pasture area so I am just not sure about the poop but they are eating and drinking fine. They are 18 weeks old. They do have chickens come in and out of their free range area. They do not share the same coop with the chickens. We don't have anything that...
