Help! VERY picky BBW!!

[keyt1969]

I have a 5 month old picky broad breasted white turkey that will eat his feed for a few days then not eat at all. I originally had 9 poults and after they feathered out and were about 6 weeks old i put them in the chicken tractor. We had strange overnight freeze up and only one point survived. No one had anymore so i am left with just this picky thing.

I have never had such a picky bird!! He was eating all stock feed and skipping the corn now he won't eat that! Any suggestions what i can do? Is there something to entice him to eat his food? I'm worried he won't be fat enough for the holidays now!

Sounds like he's lonely, probably needs a friend.

I have been looking for another one for a while now and can't seem to find one around the same age. I think this time of year no one will let them go.

Do you have any other poultry, like a chicken, unless you have problems with blackhead.
