Update with Graphic photos below! (I'm not seeing where to edit the title of the post.. sorry!)
We butchered the turkeys and I thought I'd post what was in there in case anyone was interested, it turned out to be a relatively hard fat deposit in the skull
We've got a BBB turkey at the farm I work at, about 4 months old, and the top of its head, just around the skull, looks as though it's filled with fluid, it wobbles a little when the bird walks around. I can get a pic tomorrow but thought I'd see if anyone had seen this before. It is not swollen...
Our Australorp had a light beak with a little black that is slowly turning more black, here's what ours used to look like, body is almost all black now too at 8 weeks
how old is she vs older hens? I would not risk it, is there a way to separate her with them still being able to see each other? like with chicken wire?

Can you buy those hand warmers from a near by store, activate and cover with something like a cardboard box for them to sit on? Fireplace to put them near?
I did have the sense to do blue, luckily! In case anyone else has this problem in the future, I think it is partially due to stress, I put him back with the others and he's not doing it as much, was up picking at his black feather til about 1 am and then totally passed out and it's a bit less...
I've got a little speckled sussex chick (about 4 days old) who is acting quite obsessive. I rarely see her sleep, she eats and drinks sparingly, but pecks obsessively at feathers that stick out. She has a black one on her wing that she is absolutely obsessed with, and I had to separate her from...
Hi fellow Snohomisher! I'm 23 and my husband and I also just bought our first house (about 5 min from the Maltby Cafe) . And I showed horses for about 10 years! Excited to find such a kindred spirit on here :)
