It's a lot easier than it looks.

I don't think the injured turkey needs antibiotics. If he were mine I would clean the wound, apply Neosporin, and weigh him daily, and if he started losing weight, I would tube feed him.

:highfive: Lots of great threads on BYC!

Pictures please.:D

Packed base rock is what a gravel driveway is. When packed, the earthworms are unlikely to wiggle up through it. Un-packed gravel will not work. Do you have a granite quarry near you?

Packed base rock, not gravel.

The goal is to keep them from eating earthworms and chicken poop. Compacted base rock is your best bet.

I don't know if they still make this or not. https://reboysupply.com/turkey-duck-game-bird-feed.html

Those arsenic-based histostats are toxic to dogs and waterfowl. Anyway, used to be that one could buy Histostat 50, and Blue Seal used to make a turkey food with it.
