This turkey is only being treated homeopathic style. She has survived since Oct 29th, so about 2 weeks. Owner tjought she was goung to die but said if I wanted to try and nurse her back to health I could try. So I have.
Can so.eine tell me at what point do I allow her back out with the flock. Keep in mind they tried to kill her and she had a severely pecked out back along with the break.
No one expected her to live. Yet here she still is.
I am seeking some advice and ballpark answers. if anyone can help me with them tjat would be awesome.
How long might it take for her leg to heal?
Will her feathers grow back or is she destined to have a featherless back?
She is probably three or four months old and never been handled until I brought her in the house to clean and mend her.
Do you think she will be ok when returned to the outside? Ok with the other turkeys,ok in the cold and ok going back to the barnyard bugs and simple grains she was eating prior to me bringing her in and feeding her well?
Thank you.
I have attached some pucs of her original injuries and some of her healing so far.
