Hey y'all. What's the chances of an adult turkey having symptoms of coccidiosis? I just saw my 6 yr old tom poop and looked at it and saw it had some pinkish in it. No worms that I can see, but I imagine it's about time to worm them again. Just wondering if I should consider treating for coccidiosis or something as well, but I assumed that was mostly an issue with very young birds. My youngest is 2yrs. They all act normal otherwise.

I got some better pictures of his primaries today. He wouldn't let me get a frontal strutting picture. I'm still leaning towards blackwing bronze based

His female counterpart is next to him. I'm wondering if he might be just a blue winged Narragansett .

Or a rusty blue winged Narragansett.

I just got a potential breeding pair of bourbon red turkeys. I’m excited, and they’re beautiful, but having owned one hen previously, I feel slightly sad about their tail coloration.
The male’s tail is completely red, and the hen’s is 2/3s red.

and then, for comparison, my now dead hen I previously had. She was stunning. Ignore the chocolate tom. He doesn’t matter.

I’m expecting tail color on their offspring to be bad as well. Is there any possible way I could improve tail color on the breeding pair? Also, how does their body color look? I‘m a bit inexperienced with bourbon reds, but part of me feels they should be darker.

This is my Narragansett Hen. There is some genetic thing with Narragansetts where some come lighter colored? Would she be a lighter colored one?
