To top it off one of the turkey chicks is dead. The weak one is the one who died.
The Lord's my shepherd I'll not want.He makes me down to lie in pastures green : he leadeth me the quite waters by. My soul he doth restore again; and me to walk doth make within the paths of righteousness, even for his own names sake...

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"!

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.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, Laura. I hope the neighbors do the right thing and pay for damages!
ReplyDeleteAw Laura, I'm so sorry. I hope the neighbors step up and do the right thing for you. Such a shame.
ReplyDelete"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.
