A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

From what I can tell...we don't have a "surveillance system" set up, do we? @BantyChooks

I don't think Canada has a NPIP equivalent, no... I did see that Grade Eh Farms was able to get the testing done, though I don't think they got any certification.

Y'all are stoking my rampant paranoia. Thought I heard a chopper!!

X2 on everything everyone has said.

Ralphie, I really hope the turkey just has allergies. No visible lesions gives room for hope.

 

[Finnie]

Ok, not x2 on JR's paranoia posts.

Once is enough for those!

Ralphie it takes an honest man to report this condition. I admire that you reported it, and that the USDA is testing....but depopulating the turkey flock is not the answer. (IMHO)

 

[JRNash]

I don't have enough information. Does it effect whether or not you cane eat the Turkey?

I've asked my vet. Unless they're dead and sending for a necropsy...it sounds like it's a no go.

I totally agree.

I had chicks put in an enclosed box (with holes) for transporting and a couple of the chicks reacted to the shavings I had put in. They couldn't stop sneezing...so hopefully it's just the shavings that are causing grief...although that's unfortunate having 20 bags of shavings. Maybe someone who has horses or other livestock could buy them if that's what it is.

Well said.
