Help! 2 of my turkeys have started sneezing and have swellings under their eyes. I would normally kill them on thursday, hang for a week and then dress them ready to go to customers onChristmas eve.
obviously they cannot have antibiotics so close to slaughter. if i keep them alive till thursday will the illness make them taste bad ? if i kill them now will they keep in the fridge for a week having hung for a week in the barn. They're eating and drinking and grazing as normal though one seems a little sluggish. i've given them a multi vitamin booster drink and garlic granules in thier feed.
any advice please, thanks, Helen
