A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

I've seen foamy (how did I know we'd end up discussing poop) but not often. Usually in hot weather if they've been drinking a lot.

Finnie, it's not TOO bad here in the shade, with a fan & cold beverage. Its not good with fatso blocking my fan!
It is miserable. Have two fans on the turkeys.

Lol, maybe with two fans, some of the air will make it past them to you!

Have any of you ever had seen foamy cecal poop from your turkeys?

I see foamy cecal poop a lot. All the cecal poop forms seem extra disgusting, so I just feel like that's what is normal for cecals.

In hot weather, I use ACV--but Greens seem to solve the problem.

Is foamy cecal poop normal n your flock?

Occasionally I see it, especially when it is hot out or they are otherwise stressed.

I'm never ordering pouts again. Lost another one last night and one of my chocolates is failing on me now. I didn't lose this many poults my entire hatching season this year

I am so sorry!

about a week ago she had cecal poop that looked just like peafowl cecal poop.

Spoiler: Cecal Poop Picture

And now it's foamy. Guess I should get a baseline weight on her.

I wonder if you experts know what this is. Turkey has a large sack around the breast area, doesn't seem to be causing any pain. It's very large, i can't wrap my hands around it. The sac is squishy not hard.

Edit: Could it be sour crop? Is it treatable without surgery?

I would say that is just a normal crop filled with feed... If the bird is acting fine I would Say nothing is wrong. Crops normally bulge out like that especially after the birds have eaten a lot.
