Turkey Hen & Rooster

[Grind Hard Farm]

We had two heritage turkeys, one tom and one hen. Sadly, we assume the tom died from wet fowl pox as we found him one morning deceased. Since then, the hen -Angela- has been getting attacked from the rooster in a sexual manner, she is only 4 months. I found her one morning with a little blood by her tail, assuming it was just the pecking order. This morning, I then found her bleeding from behind a bit more than last time and sitting on the ground lethargic, I checked her tail and found a few feathers plucked out. I separated her, how else can we help her?

She's being housed with chickens? I suggest keeping her separately especially if they are pecking her. Generally it's best not to mix chickens and turkeys. You can use some bluekote or other wound spray on her.
