Turkey Trauma

Sigh, our neighbor's wonderful dog attacked our "Tommy" (our tom turkey). "Tommy" has no tail and his back is chewed up really badly. (ie. no feathers and chunks of flesh gone.) I don't know if he's even make it. I gave him some banamine and he is acting a bit better. (If he's still acting bad tomorrow we'll have to put him down.) I think "Tommy"was protecting his feathered ladies. Poor "Tommy"!

To top it off one of the turkey chicks is dead. The weak one is the one who died.

  1. Aww, it's sad to lose a baby, and a dog attack sucks. On a positive note, if you need another tom, my mom has three for sale if you need one.

  4. "Tommy" is seeming to be doing ok. I did count our chickens and 3 are missing so the dog must have gotten them some other time...The neighbors did talk to us and said that their dog had gotten some of their chickens and they offered to replace the missing chickens.
