Yesterday one of my baby turkeys died. This is what I found. It's intestine was severely inflamed as shown in the images. The turkey weighed about 500 grams while the rest of my turkeys weighed about 1kg...
Please let me know what the problem is and if it is contagious to my other birds

You might have better luck posting this in the Emergencies / Diseases / Injuries and Cures forum.

What did the liver of this one look like? Anyway, looks like those are "cecal cores", which I think are from cecal worms and possibly blackhead. You might want to de-worm all your turkeys with Safeguard or Valbazen.

For just large roundworms and cecal worms give:
Valbazen dose - 0.08ml per pound once orally and repeat on 10 days *or* Safeguard liquid or paste dose - 0.23 ml per pound orally once and repeat in ten days.

If you also want to treat for capillary worms and gapeworms, which is what I do:
Safeguard liquid or paste dose - 0.23 ml per pound orally for 5 consecutive days.
