My tomtom is super friendly
He perfers human interactions
Hes always under my feet
Or near my window where he can see me. He doesn't try to escape & will walk anywhere with you. You can rub & hold him. Hes really awesome
Hes 3 yrs old
Hes fathered
2 groups of babes
He doesn't get along with other males. His brother got roasted cuz they wouldn't quit fighting 2 years ago. Tomtom ripped off his outer toe. Not sure if my goat stepped on it or if he did it himself trying to get to his brother. Anyways that healed & he has a stub now.
He quit perching after he lost his toe but he jumps up on the goats trampoline & tables to sun when free roaming.
Currently
I have a rooster & 7 hens
I have tomtom & momma turk
& i kept one of their daughters born last may.
Chicks & turks have separate pens for their protection nights. Mornings they are released to roam with my 2 goats.
Ok theres a pic of my herd
Tomtom shivers & holds his head back against his body
AND/OR
his head drops to the right
& he goes in circles
Then usually
He falls on his butt & has a hard time getting back up
but he always does before I get through the gate to him.
He eats, he poops,
he has no nasal mucus.
My heart breaks for him.
Bonnie my female goat
Bullies him
I spray her with water trying to break her.
I can't separate tomtom
Cuz he goes nuts
& im afraid he may rip off another toe clawing at the chainlink fences
(Thats what I think happened to his missing toe)
Ive searched and searched
I just don't know what to do
He has the same rituals daily
I fed the 2 goats,
I release the chickens
& throw them feed
I release the turks
& throw more food
I rake out the Turkey pen
I clean the hen houses
& rake their pen
About noon
The goats & birds all get black oil sunflower seeds
(The goats get a plate each)
I collect eggs
Then just before dark
The goats get their food bowls
& i throw feed in the chicken pen, then the turk pen
The birds go in
I shut doors.
Should I just put tomtom
Out of his misery?
Or .....
He doesn't seem miserable
He just seems to
have random fits
Idk
Please advise
Im not trying to
have any more Turkeys
I am collecting mommas eggs
Daily
Crazily shes been laying off & on over a month now
During winter!!!
