New to Turkey pet ownership. Paid a neighbor to let me take her instead of her being butchered cause she would come over everyday and want to be petted for hours a day. Built a coop, decent Turkey feed. She laid eggs, everything was fine. But suddenly she turned super aggressive to everyone.
She turns red, vocalizes a very particular shortened gobble and tries to bite anyone near her. Even objects. And she will outright REFUSE to go into her coop at night. Got to throw a blanket over her head and pick her up.
She has a lot of free range to eat. Idk what breed she is, the neighbor didn’t say. But she looks EXACTLY like a wild Turkey...only bigger and her chest is much broader.
This is probably not related but she has stopped laying eggs, stopped presenting herself to me and is losing feathers like crazy. Quills are still in so they aren’t really growing back. And help would be greatly appreciated. I probably shouldn’t have taken her as I should have educated myself more. But I thought with my heart.
