We came home tonight to a sick turkey. Couldn’t stand or lift its head. Looked like it just wanted to lay there and die. My husband brought it in the porch and held it for about ten minutes and then it died. it pooped on his shirt and it was runny and yellow. We are thinking blackhead disease. I have two other turkeys that appear fine right now. They are 4-5 months old and currently live in our big chicken coop with our chickens. All of our birds free range about 5 acres together. I didn’t know it was bad to keep them together but now as I’m reading about blackhead, I’m wondering if they will all get it and die anything I can do to stop it or keep my other turkey babies from dying??? I love them so much.
