Hello all! I'm new to this website and have found it to be helpful in the past when dealing with issues with my chickens. I have 6 currently. 5 hens and 1 rooster. They're a barnyard mix. The rooster is part Amaracona. All quite spoiled. I love them to death and also, have a broody hen as of now which I'm excited about! I want to be a veterinarian someday but am happy doing plenty of research. I'm sadly dealing with blackhead disease among my flock. I'm going to order a dewormer from my vet and hopefully that'll fix the problem. I have no turkeys. So, quite strange! The vet said he hadn't had a case of this disease in years.

I've never had turkeys but I thought chickens could give them blackhead disease but NOT suffer from it themselves. Need to study more. Thank you for joining us at BYC.

Welcome to BYC! Sorry you're dealing with blackhead, I know all too well how difficult it is to treat.

Cool that you want to be a vet. Maybe you'll be an avian vet seems like they are hard to find. Good luck with school and your chickens.
