Hi,
I have a white female broad brested turkey. She is the sweetest little girl. She's about a year old and yesterday when I went outside, I notice her entire but area tail feathers were ripped out. Not sure if she was sleeping out of the closed portion of the coop and had her tail feathers sticking through the fence, but it look like something took a bite out of her. Skin isn't bitten but omg the thick tail feathers are destroyed. I washer her bottom and today I saw in the camera footage that the ducks are attacking her! She is bleeding worse and since she is molting the ducks are attaching her entire body. I am going to separate her today. I have been curing her bumble foot/swollen feet as well. Apparently those turkeys are made to eat so they grow faster then their feet can handle. please give me any advice you can! I have a poultry wound spray from tractor supply but I don't want to use it if its not the right product. Also, can I use Bacitracin as a ointment on turkeys?
Please help!
