I have a 4 week old turkey poult that i noticed a couple days ago wasnt doing well. Very depressed, droopy wings, would just sit under the heat lamp not active like normal. I pulled them out and seperated from the rest. Its been 3 days, Ive noticed tiny bit of improvement, more moving around and...

Sorry, this is a long post. I have a 8 week old turkey poult who has had a variety of symptoms for a while now and we cannot figure out what is wrong with it. At about 4 weeks I noticed that this particular poult was presenting with blackness on the beak by the nose and a few days later on the...

Yesterday, he was totally fine. Came out this morning and he is like this. Neck going to side as well. Doing nutridrench and electrolytes now. What could this be?

I have a turkey poult that’s growing sooo slow. He’s about a month old and our 2 week old chicks have already outgrown him. His hatch mates quickly outgrew him and started trampling him, same with the chicks. So now he’s in a brooder all by himself. I did have to help him hatch, he pipped...

I have nine bourbon red poults that are about two weeks old. One is not doing well this evening. His belly area seems swollen, there is a scab in that area. He is just standing with his eyes closed and wings drooped, letting the other poults run over him. Could it have an infection? Or be...

Howdy!! I’m rhyme, and I’m new to poultry but I recently got some little goobers of my own! Got the coop all ready, but they’re all teeny so we’re waiting on em to grow before heading them out there. Got a baby blue slate Turkey named Winnie, an absolute cuddlebug who is genuinely the sweetest...

Hello! I’m Kalia and I’m a member of the King City FFA Chapter in Northwest Missouri. For my SAE (Supervised Agricultural Experience), I’m raising and selling turkey poults. They are of heritage breeds including Black Spanish, Bourbon Red, and Royal Palm. Some of the poults are mixed as our...

I have a (Royal palm?) turkey poult hatched 03/14 (~3 weeks) He/She weighs 119 grams. The others weigh 357g, 312g, 245g, and 253g. His/Her neck is held severely sloped to the side, it runs backwards in circles, and chirps incessantly. The neck started a couple days ago, it arrived small and has...

I bought two more turkey poults today and the person I get them from have heritage bourbon red. Well this time one of the poults I picked out has a very brown head and super light body color. Any idea why?

Hello, 3 week old turkey poult has been sick for the past week or so, finally narrowed it down to canker after discovering yellow lesions under his tongue and his swollen chin. He has been living with other turkeys this whole time so we’re going to treat them all. We wanted to go down the copper...

(Reposted here as i posted this in turkey thread before seeing this section sorry) Hello! My 2 week old bronze turkey poult Beans has started kind of gagging and choking last night? He kept sticking his throat out with his mouth open and gurgling so I wasn’t sure if he was choking or something...

Hi there! I have 6 chocolate poults, 1 bourbon and then 4 Wyandotte chicks in a brooder together. They are about 2 weeks old. Everyone is healthy, except for 1 chocolate poult. It’s pretty lethargic and small compared to the others. I put it in a separate brooder yesterday with some...

I have 7 Turkey babies, 4 of them have the right wing sticking out, they are about 5 days old.

So I currently have our big girl coop with 13 chicks aging at about 7 weeks old. I have a smaller brooder in our garage with 6 barnyard mixes (sold as EEs) and 2 silkies at about 3-4 weeks old. Well, we got rid of a few of our bigger ones in the coop whom we were certain were roos. Then we went...

Evangeline taking a nap

I got a poult from Atwood’s because it looked a little rough. I’m not familiar with turkeys, but I am with chickens, so I know a little. The problem is, I’m not sure how to help this little guy. Can anyone here help me with this wound? I have no idea the age or anything other than it’s and...

Blue Slate/Royal Palm Hybrid, Turkey Poult.

Hi all, I’ve been using BYC for several years now but I only just made an account. I currently have a turkey poult approximately four weeks old. He’s very lethargic, his crop is empty, he refuses to eat or drink very much of anything, and holds up one of his wings. I checked both wings, there...
