I just got done watering and doing my morning chores and seen something that I know is not a good thing. I have two chicken hens that fight every morning with out fell it seems but this morning was a bit different one of my young female turkeys jumped on one of the fighting hens and started to pull feathers. Of course I got right in there and made the turkey stop. Not sure if the fighting hens triggered something in the young female turkey this morning. I have 3 more female turkeys and they had no interest in the fighting chickens.

So one of my two poults who almost died and survived sounds like he might have a small respiratory possibly? He's breathing fine and eating and drinking, but you can hear a faint clicking when he breathes like if you had a snot bubble stuck in your nose, lol. Anything I should give him and the others to be safe, or should I just wait it out?

Was the turkey trying to break up the hen fight? my male turkeys break up rooster fights by beating up on whichever rooster is winning.

My gander used to get pissed off when my toms would fight when I had 2 and they all roamed together. He'd launch himself in the middle and cling onto whoever's feathers he could get. Eventually he just started attacking the turkeys on sight so we had to move the turkeys in the backyard.

I'm always getting in trouble ☺ because I let to many in. I just can't help myself. I always want to spend time with my turkeys. Rain or sun..

So, I have a poult who’s about a week old. It has randomly decided that it’s scared of its feat. Nothing is outwardly wrong with them, but he randomly looks down, and sees them and freaks out. Once he has tried running from them and realizes they aren’t leaving he’ll peck at them... has anyone else heard of this behavior? Any ideas of what to try? I did coat his legs with that purple wound care, since he was starting to pick his feet raw. It seemed to slightly help, but he’s still scared of them.
Thanks!

I'm hoping mine will stay this way even after hitting puberty.
