Foam poop

[Stonelakemomma3]

I have 3, 5 day old turkey poults. Hatched in incubator and kept indoors. They have a wide variety of poop and I want to make sure they are ok. Some looks like normal bird poop and some looks like foam. Should I treat them with anything? They are eating Kalmbacnon non-GMO starter feed 28% protein I believe.

Do you know of anything @MamaPoult ?
I’m not sure they hatch with parasites. We just use a electrolyte and probiotic mix that you can get to put in their water. It gives them a good boost.

I don’t but will check her out! I was adding something called rooster booster and stopped because I was worried that was causing

If they are on a quality turkey or gamebird starter, they don't need supplements. While the level of protein is important, the levels of lysine, methionine and niacin are also important.

Foamy cecal poop can be a sign of coccidiosis. Do you have any Corid (amprolium)?

It’s not exactly normal but not alarming either. Usually turkey poults need to be on game bird starter.

Hi! My old poults has a wide variety of poo! Mine had normal but a lot of foamy too. I think if it persists then you should look into worming them with ivermectin or something. Really all my young birds poop foam for a while and then it cleares up. It might just be a chick/poult thing!

Thanks for the tag!

Is corid a dewormer? I was coming back to ask what everyone uses to deworm turkeys because they have something. I put the poop under our microscope and can see some stuff moving. I see fenbendozole?? Is that the best thing?

Corid is not a dewormer. It is only for coccidiosis.

Ok! Is the liquid form what I would want to get. They have a lot of foamy poop now!

If your problem is coccidiosis, yes.
