Injured turkey

[Kgastin]

I have an injured turkey help! She got caught up in a bush with sharp branches and likely had my rooster or other turkey peck at her too. Her wattle is swollen and she has scratches to her head. I have her isolated of course. I’m new to turkeys. Any help appreciated!

Check to make sure the swollen area isn't air filled. If it is air swollen, it needs to be lanced to release the air.

Other than that it's just give her time to heal. Turkeys can be very resilient and often heal very well on their own.

Thank you!!! I appreciate your response. She’s my sweet baby and my first turkey. So I don’t know what I’m doing. The swollen area was hard. I ended up taking her to the vet. She actually is better than last night so hopefully she’s healing already.
