Hello
I have just come to a community and adopted a flock. We have 3 turkeys, 23 hens, 3 roosters and 6 quails. A new brahma rooster and hen were introduced just before I came. The rooster has not been accepted and is being made to stay in a bush, especially by the male turkey. The new female seemed to have more freedom but yesterday she was attached my the turkey and the hens and didn't survive. What should I do to keep the new rooster safe? Must he forever be sectioned off?
Also, a female turkey has mycoplasma, she was been treated with antibiotics, but again she has been wi the flock since before I came. Is there anything I can do at this stage? I will avoid stress, keep the nutrients up and make sure they have warmth in the coming winter
Thank you so much for your time!
