So, we bought 10 turkeys two weeks ago and we have lost 7 of them to blackhead within the first few days. I have no idea where they got it from, we bought all new things for their run and they are a long way from any chickens.
Anyway, we have now got three turkeys clearly infected with blackhead as they have yellow poop. Four days ago they were looking very sick and now they are looking ok, they chase after each other and seem quite active.
Can this mean they have recovered? Or are they just taking longer to die from it? All the others were gone within 6 hours of first symptoms. And one of them has poop which is almost brown again now...
