Hello all,
My turkey Dusty has been acting strange the past few days. She is making a sound almost like an owl’s coo and seems to give up on walking around at random times to lay on the ground in a really strange position. She shudders when we try to pick her up and hold her sometimes. Other times she acts completely normal.
She is about 5 months old and weighs about 24 pounds. I know broad breasted white turkeys are not meant to live very long, but she has no other obvious signs of illness and the other turkeys seem just fine.
I’m going to put a picture of the strange way she is laying below (the coloring on her feathers is so we can tell her apart from the others).
Thanks in advance for any advice.
