The turkey tom is sick. He's either eaten something that hasn't agreed with him, or the fresh green grass has killed all his beneficial bacteria. Most likely a condition called sour crop. We've been tubing him and giving his crop salt water rinses, and then some yogurt. He's been breeding the girls for a couple of weeks now, so if he dies, we should still have some fertile eggs. But We're hoping for a full recovery.
Oh, poor sick baby!!!!
