    Introducing turkey back to the flock

    I have five turkeys. One of them was sick, so I separated him. It’s feeling much better now, but when I tried to put him back in to the pen with the other turkeys, they all attacked him. What’s the best way to re-introduce him to the flock?

    Chicken biting turkey feathers

    I have a very passive male Turkey and he likes to strut a lot, with all his feathers up. For some reason my chickens are obsessed with biting his butt and the feather around it to the point that he bleeds. Has anyone else dealt with this? What should I do?

    What’s wrong with my Royal Palm?!

    There’s nothing physically wrong with her feet or legs. No bumble foot or wounds. Bought her recently, and noticed strange behavior. Walks off balance, stiff like. Appetite is good. Otherwise healthy bird.
