I just joined today and i seriously need some advice on their behaviors.
First off today i had to go to work early so i had my mother come over to take care of my chickens and such, She had notice one of six of our turkeys was missing, She then searched the enclosure to find it hiding between the coop and the fencing, she then noted it wouldn't stand up, so she picked it up and placed it on the small patio like portion of the coop i had made, As she was getting water for them she then saw the bigger turkey had begun to peck at the poor ones head, she redirected the bigger one but it just went back and continued, I came home to find that my mother had placed the injured turkey in my old dog kennel with hay, Food and water, But the turkey won't eat or drink, However i've managed to feed to some bread, Often placing it in water so it can swallow the bread.
I really need help, i might be able to provide pictures of said turkeys, but i checked the one currently under my care and he has no visible wounds and it's feces is normal in color.
We do have a small bantam rooster, he's pretty young but he causes no harm to the turkeys whatsoever.
