I have 8 month old turkeys, 7 of them, however all of them have damaged tail feathers, is there some sickness that causes this or could it be that they are being attacked.
They are sharing an area with 2 silkies and 2 guinea fowls, however the guinea fowls are a new addition, the damage was evident before I introduced the guinea fowls. So what should I watch out for? diseases or silkie attacks? and do turkeys like sharing space? because I'm seeing an odd behaviour recently but haven't witnessed any attacks.
Ps. will my bronze turkeys breed naturally ? was told they are artificially insaminated, but I dont think mine are incapable of breeding... and at what age will they start breeding/laying.
(i'm new with turkeys
)
THANKS !!!!
