So a friend brought a really sick one year old hen to me to try to save. Of course the first things I think of are worms, coccidiosis, blackhead, and bacterial infections.

Symptoms were:
  • Severe weight loss
  • Depression
  • White poop
Anyone wanna guess what she died of?

Just to let everyone know....

I received email from @JRNash a few minutes ago.

He is alive and well along with his family.

He said he was wiped out and lost most of his birds. (this is from Harvey)

But his family is is doing well and they are ok.

And he's working!

glad to hear he and his family are well :hugs thanks for the update!!
 
Heard from @JRNash last night.

His family is safe and living with relatives and friends.

His house was destroyed, first by flood waters and then the mold.

He lost all his birds. It was getting dark and the water came up so fast, the birds stayed where they were and drowned.

He and his son were working on a pickup truck when it started to rain. They had to take a part to the garage, got something to eat, and by then the water was four feet deep in his driveway. The water then came up about 3 inches each hour.

(I am not sure if his family was there at the time, or was able to get out the next day or so.)

Jr stayed on the property in the muck and water to protect belongings of his and the neighbors.

Both pickups were underwater.

After the water went down a week later, he was able to get both semi-running. His son went to town and was promptly ran over by "a little ole lady", totalling the truck and leaving his son with a neck injury. He said "it was a miracle there were no fatalities."

He will have to build a house. Had been thinking about it, but now says he has "NO CHOICE" - his words.

Currently, JR is staying with his in-laws and going to work in his "limping" truck, with a board on the seat to keep his butt dry. :)

He said to tell everyone "thank you for the prayers" as he sincerely believes that is the only thing that got them through. He said he was an emotional wreck before he could get to his family and is devastated by everything that happened, but is trudging along.

He lost his phone due to water damage and after trying several times to get it to reboot, he promptly forgot all his passwords. When he got a new phone, he couldn't figure out how to reload his Gmail and that is the biggest reason he wasn't able to contact anyone right away.

I emailed him back last night with "a thousand questions", but told him to answer only when he had time and could do so.

I'm happy everyone is safe and sound, but heartbroken over his loss. Some of the turkeys were getting to be great pets and he had planned on keeping those few.

Will update as I can. :)
 
Could someone help me identify the gender on my baby Turkey, it would be appreciated.
