~TURKEY MISSING EYEBALLS~*GRAPHIC*

[WildWyandott110]

Hi,
I went to let out my chickens and turkeys out when I found one of my turkeys lying on the ground. At first, I thought it was dead, but when I got closer, I found that it was breathing shallowly. I cleaned the visible wounds out with warm water, but as I started to clean around the eyes, I was shocked to find this:

I don't know if they've lost one or both of their eyes. One socket is bleeding a bit. They're moving only slightly.
The inside of it's beak was caked in blood, and a clot was blocking it's airway. I have that revmoved now, but it's breathing hasn't improved. Since the turkeys share housing with my chickens, I have to wonder if the chickens did this. The turkey is about 2 moths old.
EDIT: I decided to cull. The poor thing is out of it's misery.

Poor thing does not look like it's in good shape.
You did good buy removing him.
I'm not sure what should be done though.

Will it drink water if you put it close to its beak?

So sorry about the poor bird. I would separate all of them from the chickens. Birds can be brutal.

Not naturally. If I coax it a little it will, but only a few drops at a time.

Chickens totally did that, they can be brutal. Poor little turkey. I don't know if there is any helping that. Agree if you have others in there take them out.

I personally would cull the poor thing. I don't think it has much chance of a full recovery, and even if it did... what kind of life would it have.

Thank you Rae, I didn't want to come right out and say it.

I agree.
I wouldn't let it suffer too long.
