Another Sick Turkey Poult
Did they check to see if it died of blackhead? What were the bird's symptoms before it passed? I greatly feel your stress and frustration. I have felt it from the first time I tried to raise turkeys on the property we own now. Blackhead wasn't an issue on our property where my husband and I... -
