Should I keep them?

[redrooster99]

I recently purchased 4 turkey poults. A day after getting them one got a runny nose and one eye was running a little. I immediately culled this bird because I have a small breeding farm and I don’t do antibiotics. Should I continue to raise the other 3 as long as they don’t show signs or should I get rid of them and just get more poults from somewhere else?

Up to you but the bird you are showing is not a turkey.

What bird I’m showing? I didn’t post a picture.

Look at your post on a computer.

R2, just jumping in to say that the picture you see is the OP's signature. I can't see any picture on my phone but when I turn it sideways to view signatures, I see it then. Carry on

Man it’s a tough call, turkeys are so sensitive when they’re small, it could be something brought on by stress of moving, but It could have brought something. I guess it depends how many other birds you have And potential loss. It could have already spread the illness since it’s been a couple days, so culling might be too late. I personally would probably cull tho.

I’m hoping since they are seperate from everything it won’t have really passed on. I’m thinking I should cull and get more poults from somebody else.

Yeah that's very confusing having an EE photo in signature

Turn off signatures, and you won't see the chicken.
