Thank you! So far we haven't gone to bed but it's looking pretty good for at least getting a few hours of sleep. Its moving away mostly now and so far wind predictions are good! Hopefully I get to sleep and wake up to no more fire haha

Hope all is good this morning. Stay safe out there!

I need some help, does anyone know how to treat a case of blackhead... my Golden Narragansett Tom has caught it again (the first time he caught it, it didn't last long, and he was only doing yellow droppings)...
This time he has yellow droppings, lethargic, and losing weight (he is eating, just not as much as he normally would), he is 6 years old, and i do not want to lose him, as my flock follows him (he is currently the oldest one in my flock)...

And i know where he caught it from, he got it from a group of hens my mom and I picked up from someone who was selling hundreds of hens (they grow them up to the age of when they start laying, then sell them)... and apparently they were carrying Blackhead... he is a very important turkey in my flock, any advice is appreciated

Just looking online, it looks like there are no approved treatments, and also like you need to get that turkey isolated STAT. Really, it looks pretty bad, what I read. @R2elk will know more about this.
