I have 50 straight run chicks and 9 straight run turkeys that are penned together. They are currently 5 weeks old. They've been doing great together! I know I'll need to separate them soon due to have fast turkeys grow.
I've noticed some of my chicks are loosing their feathers. Are they old enough to be molting? Are the roos old enough to be mounting? The turkeys, as far as I can tell are not picking on them. Is it mites? What do I do? How do I fix this? If ivermectin is needed, what kind and where do I got it?
