One of our turkeys is injured. We found it outside the chicken tractor one morning, cold and wet. We think it got out somehow during the thunderstorm, and was …
I'm amazed at how well she stays in the sink even while you're cleaning out the tub.
Beautiful job!
He knows you’re helping him ❤️ But I had to laugh when you told him, “Look the other way so they can see.” Thanks for showing us tips on this.
Rachel – you are AMAZING! I really enjoyed watching you care for your turkey. It really seemed to trust you and enjoy the attention 😍

We have a 'dog crate' we have in our workshop that is used for chicken ER nesting. We have one old hen (Camilla – and yes named after the Muppet chicken – Gonzo's girlfriend) she gets bumblefoot often and we have to open them up and stay out of the coop while it heals. Bless ya for being an awesome animal caretaker!!!!
An Owl tried to steal one of my hens. Pinkie's wing was broken and had to be amputated. My Husband called her the Six Million Dollar Chicken. She regained her balance and could jump to the top of a 4 foot fence when she was all healed. She lived in my bathroom for a while. I've also had goats in the bathroom.
Respecting the gifts that God gave us is one of the reasons we were blessed with a body. I admire you for taking such great care and concern. Just because we are using an animal as a meat source does not mean we have to be inhumane about it. I am a new chick mom and was wondering what I would do if my chicken was sick and injured. I would imagine a bathtub would work to help a chicken get back to good health. I had never thought of it until this video.
What is manuka honey? Never heard of this and am very interested since I have a large flock of birds and a very special baby turkey named pickles.
The vets here in Canada always give a can of Blue or Pink antiseptic spray dressing. After cleaning the wound on Equine, Bovine, etc. Birds as well spray twice a day after cleaning the wound spray to keep it free from bacteria growing as it heals. Put some epsom salt in the water also Rachel. My horse got caught in a bunch of barbed wire in the back of the field and morning and night I had to get a bucket of warm water and epsom salts to soak her fetlock in then spray with the antiseptic spray. It was always handy for any of the animals if they were injured. I was 12 years old and got up before school and went out for supper time chores for at least a month to do this and also gave my horse the correct amount of penicillin by injection once / day. I am not a vet but I know this works and will work not sure about the honey can't hurt. This was seen and prescribed by our vet. the soaking n epsom salts and warm water and the spray would be recommended for your friend.
I had that happen with one of my hens. She was attacked by a predator who tore up her back to the bone. Manuka honey healed her fast. Just pack it real heavy and wrap and change every couple days. He/She will heal and recover fast. Also add Vetericyn a couple days later. Spray and leave uncovered. That is a great product to heal wounds fast. I hope she feels better soon. Make sure you dry her off with the hair dryer. Don’t let her dry on her own and get cold. She really doesn’t need a bath daily. Just use the wash cloth to clean the wound. The honey will keep the wound sterile. Pack really well and cover with a gauze if you can do she won’t pick it.
Bless you for taking care of him. Please don't make him meal.
To answer your question, yes, I would share my bathtub with a turkey. I have shared my tub with a seagull awaiting animal rescue.
I didn't think I could like you anymore!!! I give you credit because I would have a pet turkey after all that time together. You are amazing!!!
Poor baby, so many injuries. Hope whatever got it doesn’t come back. You’re such a good mom.
❤️❤️❤️
The other turkeys will never believe this story when she returns from the Turkey Spa.
Finally someone with my craziness 😜🤣😂
Watched this yesterday and meant to comment. I hope your turkey is doing okay! That poor sweetie! ❤ I live in a residential area, nice sized lot with a pretty huge backyard though, so we have chickens, but if we ever move to a more country area (our dream for sure) I would love to get turkeys!
You need to get some blu coat and spray his wounds. And if you put him back in the cage they won't peck at him.
This video was really hard to watch. Hopefully your taking care of him under a vets advice and this turkey gets to live a long and happy life.
Poor little guy. He has the best caretaker.
You are my kind of people 😅.
Great job Rachel, thanks for sharing; fingers crossed 🤞 all goes well for your feathered friend 👍😎
Bless , after all this pampering and kindness and love I would be so attached I would have a pet turkey but I understand they are not pets but the care you show is lovely to see , you are truly looking after the welfare of the animals other people should follow your lead
This really was a very sweet caring video, BUT I couldn't help but think that he was " practicing " being honey-basted😂
Great job! I woke up in the middle of the night about 5 years ago to a black mink attacking my black Astralope. The mink bit her neck and literally peel the skin off my hens back. We had the windows open and the when I ran to the window I yelled. I saw the mink run off under the light of the moon. So I found myself standing in the back yard with a badly injured hen at 2 am. After a week of honey and apple cider vinegar water for drinking and a good coating of BluKote daily, she was good to go back. Her open wound was the size of the palm of my hand. Took her a few months to regrow the feathers, but she is just as pretty and you wouldn’t know she was ever injured.
I appreciate how you care for the animals that you use for food. A lot of people don't care if they suffer because they're food, but it's refreshing to see how you treat them. 🙂
I loved it when she was looking at herself when you were cleaning your tub it was just like she was trying to figure out how that turkey got in her bathroom. Keep smiling 😊😊😊
♥️🙏🏻
Rachel…… did you name her….? yet…. ? lol You are AMAZING! You have such love for all you touch. <3
Is this what the Vet. recommends?
Poor thing! Bet he or she appreciates your patience and gentle care. Hope it isn't too chilly in the tub!
After caring for this turkey you are going to have a hard time butchering her . I can see a new pet for your farm in the future. LOL
🙏🏻
You are very caring Rachel & that is amazing what you are doing. He/ She will come good but it will be interesting to see if you can still put him/her in your freezer. Cheers Denise
Oh I hope you keep that baby for a pet !!!!!
Yeah, the first time we got chickens they weren't sexed correctly. Woke up one morning to one cock a doodling. I was home very sick. I ran out, grabbed him threw him in the shower in my daughter's bathroom then went back to sleep. My daughter had been gone several weeks and I had n't mentioned the chickens. I wanted it to be a surprise! A woke up from my nap hearing my daughter svreaming from the other side of the house! "WHY US THERE A CHICKEN IN MY BATHROOM?????!!!!
When I have a bird with a wound I use either Blu-Kote or Peck no More on it, they keep the other birds form pecking on it and also helps it to heal. They both work really well. I would use the Blu-Kote on small wounds and the Peck no More on more severe ones.
