Had an accident with my turkey this morning

[BirdBimbo]

Hi, new member here. I’m about two years ago my uncle passed leaving behind his flock and two turkeys. Most of the flock didn’t make it with the raccoon/and or hawks on our we have one asshole rooster, one hen and my precious Pheobe the turkey that I never thought I would bond with but she is my baby now. Pheobe recently lost her sister due to a dog that broke into the property and attacked her. She was extremely sad but is doing better, she has been losing her chest feathers for quite some time now but she has a short beard on her. This morning the rooster chased her into the road I believe she got hit by a car. Her wing is looking broken the I made her a nice safe space on my porch and she’s eating and drinking and I am holding her and loving her, so that’s the background of my girl but I started looking more into her this morning on this site for tips to help her and came across a lot of info I didn’t know. Could anyone tell me what type of turkey she is, and how long she is excepted to live if conditions are perfect? This girl walks around my whole farm with me and wake me up by scratching at my front door every morning lol. She’s the sweetest girl ever. I am not sure how to add a photo but I’ll figure it out. I must admit I was completely thrown into taking care of birds and could have done more research sooner. But I’ve grown so attached to her and I can’t bare loosing her anytime soon.

You need to post pictures of the turkey.

I had a turkey break her wing during the night. Other than protecting her from the other toms, I did nothing. She healedon her but could no longer fly.

I'm so sorry to hear about Phoebe. If you could attach a photo, that would be very helpful for us.
