I don't do turkeys, but I'd think they wouldn't hatch w/o the warmth of mama or a 'bator.

Ok so should I lock her in and see if she will set on them because I would like to have another Narragansett turkey I don't do turkeys either she is my first the tom was roosting on a garbage truck and went for a ride clean out to clearfield they couldn't catch him but my paps friend wants to go try and find him

It's not fowl. But I threw it together in about five minutes.

I hope he gets better. But if he doesn't make it, I would definitely get a necropsy done. You will want to know (for your own peace of mind, as well as the health of the rest of your flock). I opened Paula myself, but I am a human pathologist so I felt a little more confident that I could get a clue on my own. I had thought it was an infection or worms (esp. as she had a lot of loose diarrhea), and just needed to know for the other chickens - but instead she was full of tumors. (I also knew that another pullet had ocular Marek's and that the breed was susceptible, so once I saw that it was a easier to make the connection.)

It may be useful to go ahead and look up the information now for how to handle/store before sending if you decide to do it. Paula was special to me and I wasn't thinking straight after finding her dead. If I had to do it again, I would have been more prepared. If he does make it, well, you know if you ever have that situation...

Personally, I don't think they'd hatch now if you chained her to them, if this has been going on for any time. They likely started to develop from her setting them, then she abandoned them. I hope I'm wrong.

I would be willing to do a necropsy if he dies. Though I'm really hoping he doesn't. I haven't put my hopes up yet, just my mind wandering and thinking about other possibilities and anything that causes it. Diagnosing is hard... I wish I could speak chicken. That would make it so much easier.

Really pulling the plug this time

Might be best just to euthanize him and ship him off to off to UC Davis for a free necropsy. I think he's probably too young for cancer. Poop looks like a bacterial infection to me.

Well...I thought I'd finally get to catch up with reading some posts here this evening but I can't keep my dang eyes open!!

Guess cleaning all the brooders out, cleaning out the pen for the litter of pups, picking kids up, dance practice for my daughter and checking/feeding everyone at the farm tonight caught up with me...Thursday's are crazy days for us (yawn!!)

Well the one she just laid 31 and the other one she laid the 30 so surly nothing has started to develop already
