Injured Turkey: found large old wound

I know it’s been a while since I posted, I wanted to let you know the turkey hen has made a full recovery. The wound while it never got infected it did get much bigger before it started to close. We did end up keeping her in a dog crate in our garage for probably two weeks. We wrapped her with an Ace bandage and she seem to tolerate it really well so that she wouldn’t pick at her wound at all. She’s even started laying eggs and gone broody which is surprising given the severity of the initial wound that she had.

That's wonderful news! Thanks for the update and I'm so glad she is doing well and on her way towards Momma-hood.
