My first thought would have been worms...but assuming you ruled that out?

Blue/grey feathers everywhere today. I knew Daisy was close to molt. Her personality completely changes....Pre-Molt-Syndrom! Try & touch her & she'll toss her head away & squeak. Quite dramatic. However, she still insists upon sitting on my chair arm. Just NO petting! Gosh I do feel sorry them....those big pins are no fun.

Annie quit about three weeks ago when she started her molt. Daisy quit a week ago and I noticed feathers everywhere a couple of days ago.

Glad JR & family are ok. How scary that had to have been. And such devastating lose.

Kathy....you never revealed the answer to the sick/dead chicken mystery....or did I miss it?

Hi PolarBerry....get used to it....turkeys bond strongly. That's ok tho....they can be like dogs with feathers! They can make great pets.

And it worked! The proper turn radius was the key. My girls are currently dropping all those beautifully preserved tail feathers. Poor babies are miserable.
