Title: turkey poult bullied
Post by: mentalmilly on July 01, 2014, 06:43:37 pm
I have 8 turkey poults looked after by a broody hen, she is doing a great job.  I noticed today that one of them is being picked on by just one of the others. Is this normal for turkeys and will this sort itself out if l leave them to it?  I have not kept turkeys before so any advice please would be welcome. I know chicks will mock fight but this is different with the poults.  Has anyone had this problem, l would be interested how you resolved this.  Thanks.
