Hello fellow poultry enthusiasts,
I have five heritage breed turkeys under a year old. I notice last night that one of my hens has a very sore looking clocha. It is extreamely inflamed and prolapse to the sized of an egg. It almost looks like a feathery swollen egg on the out side of her body. It seems to be interfering with her ability to poop properly. I am concerned for her. She just started laying and I noticed some blood on her eggs but i thought that was normal but now I see how bad it really looks.
I am going to try to catch her today and see if she is bound, or what the deal is.
Any advice would be apprieciated.
