Lash eggs are a product of salpingitis (inflammation of the oviduct.) There is no cure or guarantee that antibiotics will help, but if used, amoxicillin or enrofloxacin are the ones commonly used. Many experts say that when you see a lash egg, it is usually too late. But I feel like it could...

Is the kennel a wire kennel with good air flow, or a plastic one with less air circulation? Does she hold the leg up or try to put weight on it? Do you see any green bruising or swelling along the leg, or any scab on her foot pad?How old is she? Was she vaccinated for Mareks? You could try...

Leave the baby bird alone so the parents can find it to feed it. I will sometimes place them outside my fence just so my cats and dogs won’t get to them. It is hard to know if it fell or was knocked out of its nest. Some may need help for a day or two, and then fly off. Some may be sickly and...

Try the Amazon ones which are the same. https://www.amazon.com/Birdy-Bootie-Superior-Cushioning-Protective/dp/B01B8Y3EKY Some people actually make some of their own with neoprene material. But a gauze pad or foam with cohesive wrap or vet wrap would work.

That could be internal laying with salpingitis/coelomitis, or cancer. It may feel hard.

Here is a link for bird booties, and they also sell them on Amazon: https://crazy-k-farm.myshopify.com/products/birdy-bootie-hand-made-in-the-usa

You cannot disinfect the ground. Dirt is dirt, full of microbes and organic matter. The reason chicken get bumblefoot is when they experience a small cut or opening that gets infected. Some birds get foot pad dermatitis from something in the feed combined with soiled bedding, that can burn the...

If it is thicker, like egg white, she may have had an egg or shell-less egg break inside. If she hasn’t laid in the last day or two, a calcium citrate tablet or Tums given orally may help. If you need to keep a close eye on her, placing her in a wire dog crate with food and water might be good...

Could it be egg white (albumen?) Does she lay eggs? How old is she? Does she have any enlargement of her bottom? I would clean off her vent area to keep flies from laying maggot eggs and causing fly strike in warm weather.

I would use the maximum treatment dose which is 2 tsp per gallon of the liquid Corid, or 1.5 tsp of the powder. Give it for 5-7 days.

I know nothing about turkeys, but with chicks, I would normally clean it daily with Betadine or similar disinfectant, and leave it to dry up.

I might go ahead and treat for possible coccidiosis with Corid, just because of the number of pink to orange shed in their poop. It won’t hurt them.

With the bits of blood, I still would worm orally, and treat for coccidiosis in the water for 5 days. Corid dosage is 2 tsp of the liquid, or 1.5 tsp of the powder per gallon of water. For a day or 2 also give her 1/4 tsp of undiluted Corid once a day.

I think that all you can do is to get it dry and keep it warm. Hopefully it will be alright. Do you have them under a heat lamp? Offering lukewarm sugar water (1 tsp per cupful) may be helpful.

Note if you see any moving specks of white in her droppings. Those could be tapeworm segments, and would require a different wormer. Here is what those look like:

Yes, that may be a small skinny worm. I couldn’t see any in the pictures before. Definitely worm her, but coccidiosis can cause her symptoms as well.

I would treat her for coccidiosis with Corid because of the reddish material in her poops. But worming her orally can be done at the same time. Valbazen 1/4 ml given once and again in 10 days, or SafegUard liquid goat wormer can be used 1/4 ml per pound of weight given for 5 consecutive days...

This is a good video on doing a necropsy where the organs are identified:

They should be fine. I have had a few with crooked toes. One speckled Sussex had the worst ones, but even she roosted for all of the 7 years she lived. It isn’t always noticeable the first days, but if crooked they can continue to get a little worse until they stop eventually.
