Note: the amount I quoted was for preventative measures, not treatment in the event of an actual case.

What are you using for roosts? Maybe the width doesn’t agree with their feet? Also, Blackhead occurs when the turkeys eat the worms that have passed through the contaminated soil. I have only ever treated with metronidazole, once a month in a special water mixture that is taken up after 24...

Yes, Blackhead.

Hi. I experienced it in my flock. I have Heritage mixed. I lost one, got him examined. Vet said Blackhead. As mine are all pets, I was able to purchase the metranidazole and have not lost one since. There is not very much information out there for this situation, but I now know this is perfectly...

I am so glad to hear she seems better. After a lot of searching and reading whatever I could, I decided to give her the dewormer that goes on the skin in between the wings. Now she is eating normally, and her poops are normal. Thank you for sharing your experiences, it is much appreciated.

I have the same situation, anything further on your hen?

Perfect, thank you. They have enough space to move out of the light, and since I wake every couple hours anyways I will keep checking the temps. Really appreciate your time, this can be quite nerve wracking for a newbie.

Hi everyone! We are new to this and have been curious as our chicks reach 7 weeks tomorrow what breeds this little dude might be? We are assuming he is a roo, l.o.l. He is still only half the size of his litter mates but mighty! Thanks in advance, we are loving this experience and wishing we had...

Wow! That is amazing!
