I posted a question in the emergencies/disease forum a few days ago about what I thought might be blackhead in my turkeys
Not an Emergency But could Use Some Help With Turkeys and Chickens With Ongoing Problems [Long]
I ordered the Fish Zole immediately after seeing yellowy poops from a couple of the turkeys and it just got here today. Now the question is do I even need to give it to them as I have not seen more of the yellowy droppings since? I cannot find any pictures of blackhead in a turkey, I have not lost any of them, and they do not appear to be sick. I also had read the thread about using the cayenne pepper in their food and water and did that until I could get the medicine for them.
I will be honest here, I have had a really bad year with over 30 chickens lost to Marek's and Cocci.. I guess you could say I'm a bit shell shocked to say the least. Even though I had raised turkeys a long time ago, last year was my first year with chickens and I didn't lose a one. Beginners luck. I am probably seeing problems where there aren't any but I would rather appear the fool than to not ask and loose more birds. Especially my "Lurks". Kinda like the little suckers.
Does anyone know where I could look at pictures of what blackhead looks like or if I take pics of my own could you tell me if this is what I am dealing with?
