Many times when one is sick the other flock members will pick on them, so it's possible that's what you're seeing.We live in Arkansas, so it’s not freezing however it has been raining the past two days. And I thought that it could be peck wounds too but he is acting very lethargic and drowsy.
It looks like your tom took a severe beating. It is common in such cases for the defeated tom to suffer from depression. He really is acting exactly like they do when they get beaten severely. Make sure he has fresh water and keep him separate from the other turkeys so they don't continue the beating. Hopefully he will start eating in a few days. Sometimes their depression gets bad enough that they just lie down and die.View attachment 1616168 I went down to the barn today and saw that my 8 month old Royal Palm was lethargic, shivering, and his head has scabs all over it and his caruncles are swollen. I offered him food and he ate about three bites and then quit. Anybody know what’s going on?View attachment 1616170
