Thank you for your response, I don't think it is Cocci, all my other poultry is healthy as can be. Apparently the little one is doing great now after the water with ACV. Not sure what the problem was and would still like to know if anyone recalls the symptoms, bit lethargic and head holding low...

Hi I have a turkey poult about 1 week old that has a bubbly sound on the chest, tried to rub it down gently and gave her some water with ACV. Got her out of the pen from mom into the brooder with a heatlamp. What could this be and what can I do to help it? Thanks much.
