Ok, so my tom Lord Voldemort is almost a year old. The past week or so I have been noticing turkey feathers all over the yard (he pretty much goes wherever he wants to). At first I thought something must be attacking him. Now I've even seen them all in my goat pen and not even an unfamiliar cat can venture in there without them letting me know. They are all different sorts of feathers, even some of his nice, long tailfeathers but most of them are the shorter, fluffy ones. I hope this isn't a dumb question, but what could be causing this? He is my first adult turkey and I'm kind of paranoid about him after almost losing him to fowl pox as a poult. I know chickens moult (mine moult in the late fall) so I was wondering if that is what this could be... or if it may be stress, since he is my only grown turkey. If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
