Turkey Poop

[sarahjessica]

I recently introduced new chickens into my flock, and i know i do not have black head in my soil, but i still worry. One of my turkey's poops was very large and very dark, and spread out.
just wondering if this is a sign of blackhead, I mean she eats fine still and everything, isn't skinny or lethargic, so i might just be overreacting. Her head is kinda blue though. IT's always kind of been like that.

I think its just what shes been eating my two girls commonly have very different poos , sometimes their solid with lots of white and other times their not so solid and very dark i dont think there is any need for concern.

Okay thanks so much! I'm just an over concerned turkey mom. She's like my puppy but a turkey.

Turkey and peafowl have similar poop. The pictures in post #1 of this thread are from peafowl of mine that had blackhead and recovered with treatment with metronidazole and safeguard.
