We have used it on our place for the last 4 years. Hasn't hurt our population at all. The litter has been cured/heat treated, and is not straight out of houses. God Bless, David B.

The litter they spread around the house, is absolutely straight out of the house. And we absolutely do not have turkeys anymore

Take this for what you want.. I don't believe for one minute that chicken litter can or will possibly hark turkeys from disease or so forth. We have used it for years, any way shape form and fashion, and have always had a strong turkey population.. 30 miles north around my dads house you couldn't buy a turkey. They are either there or not, but not because of chicken litter.... My $.02

Alabama has a lot more turkeys now than in the early 60's and Alabama has a heck of a lot more chickens than in the early 60's. Chicken litter does not wipe out wild turkeys.

I know they used to be turkeys at my house an on futher up the valley in the early 80's. When they started spreading chicken litter the turkeys disappeared. I don't know if they left or died but there ain't none here now I know that!

yep the turkeys can get blackhead from the chicken litter IF the chickens it came from carried blackhead, its definately a gamble and i wouldnt feel comfortable doing it. i would just spread horse or cow manure or fertilizer.
Yeah c’mon. Daniel White

DON'T DO IT. Unless you want to kill all your turkeys by disease. Truth

I used the treated peletized chicken chit this fall and had good results. I will never use untreated where I want turkeys to thrive.
Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!

They develop sores on their legs and head and basically turn to jelly and fall dead. Blackhead does not cause sores on the legs and head.

There is far more evidence that untreated chicken litter kills turkeys than there is of man-made global warming. We need to get Al Gore on this. If Obama would have made me the Turkey Czar, as I requested, spreading untreated chicken litter would now carry the death penalty. What evidence is there? The main evidence I see is that there are dead turkeys and there are chickens around....problem is there are chickens around in much of Alabama. I hear about these dead turkeys but rarely see where anyone has even gone to the trouble of actually getting a diagnosis of what happened.

Sit tight on your question because TWRA is in a deep dive with a group of biologist from Georgia on the problem right now. Tennessee has been one of the most pro active game and fish department I have ever seen. They are really serious about their turkeys and if evidence is to be found they will find it and fix the problem.

If you look at the chicken litter they are spreading its not just droppings it has dead chickens in it to that has died from diease. I dont live to far from Rockhound and what he speaks is true for this area. The benefit from using it is not worth the chance. Like the above Not knowing does or does not I would not want to error on using it.

I am lucky, I don't have as far to go as I have been!
