MY POULTS ARE DYING PLEASE HELP

In my humble opinion, let your turkeys walk around with the others. Some may die but the others that are left will develop immunities to your soil and chicken pathogens and pass it on to the offspring. After a few years, you shouldn't have anymore problems. That's just my guess.

Someone on BYC did breed a blackhead resistant line of turkeys, but it took them five generations to get there, I think. Mortality due to blackhead and the secondary infections that go with it can and often do reach 100%, so if one has lots of money, energy and time, go for it, but I'll just keep managing/treating mine as needed with Corid, fenbendazole, metronidazole, Clavamox, Nystatin and Baytril.
