Wing injury

[AimeeBoor]

Found my 12 week old heritage turkey with a little blood on his wing today. Is this normal? Should I do anything about it?

Something or someone got hold of it. It is an injury.

Paint the exposed flesh with Blu-Kote.

Do I pull the feather or just treat the injury

Also, how often do I treat it?

You can clip the feather close but let the quill come out on its own.

Paint the bare flesh.

Dependinding on how well it starts healing, it may only require one treatment. If it is slow healing you can use the Blu-Kote again in about one week.
