Hello and welcome to the forum :) If they have just started laying, it will take a little time to get into a regular laying routine- they should start again any day- your feed is fine- don't change it. regards, David :)

Hi, it is normal for them to be a little clumsy- they are not the brightest of birds :roll: They should strengthen up when mature. What are you feeding them? regards, David :)

Hello, sorry to say but if he can't walk, has sores and can't lead a normal life or have a good quality of life, in my opinion, i think it would be better to have him put to sleep. It's a very hard decision but you need to think of the bird and not your emotions- turkeys are meant to be out ...

Hello and welcome to the forum :) You may find that the hens will still fly- the stags will become too heavy to fly very high -clipping one wing (as already mentioned by TIm) may keep them in but they are very good fliers and love to be up high. Can you not cover the top of the run with...
