Not something I wanted to see but I have a beat up depressed young Jake. He is about 11 weeks old and housed with 3 other jakes and 7 standard cochins, all of them together since the incubator. This young boy apparently got put down in the order by the other toms. He is a little bruised on the head but not significantly injured, physically anyway. The look on his poor sad turkey face and body language is enough to make even an animal hater cry. Any self esteem he once had is long gone.
Assuming that he is not brutalized again how long before they usually spring back?
Obviously if this continues past tomorrow or he gets any real injury I will move him and put him with some younger Turkeys.
