these are the parents of the poults I have now.... I have since sold all 4. I was looking to keep a few that I had raised th as t wouldn't act like I was trying to kill them every time I got close to the pen..... I don't think any of them were pure varieties but I crossed em anyway so most of my current flock will hatch surprises.... I like interesting colors so it works for me
 
Hey all, can I have some help please? My one turkey has a sinus infection. Only her one side looks bad, and she is eating a drinking okay, slightly less, because she’s trying to go broody. I don’t think it’s MG, even though it’s got a swollen sinus and clear fluid weeping out. I just euthanized two chickens for necropsy and testing, since I thought I may have Coryza or MG in my flock. Both tests came back negative, and the vet suspects that they had infectious bronchitis. I have been using Vetrx, and I tried Ciprovet crops in her eye for a couple of days. Any ideas on how to help her? She looks terrible, but only on one side.

I would get some Tylan 50 from tractor supply. You can give it orally but works best if you give it to her as a subcutaneous injection. You can also get the powder form that you just mix in the water.

I've had good luck with Excede, a once a week injectable antibiotic. This would be considered off label use since it's for large animals, but I've used it successfully on both chickens and turkeys. You will have to go to the vet (probably the large animal vet or country vet, since Excede is for horses and cattle. ) Dose is based on weight of the animal, using the included chart. Intramuscular injection, into the breast, two doses a week apart, if you manage to find someone willing to do it. Good luck!
