My friend has some 14 day old turkey poults who seem to have prolapsed.
Seems 15 out of 100 affected.

She has separated them, cleaned their bottoms, they seem less irritated now but she says there seems a bulge.
I can post an image in the AM
 
What is she feeding them. I haven't seen pasty butt in Turkey poults. I have had chicks with a slight prolapse, but it improved after about 6 weeks.
 
So she washed each bum and applied blue cote to all of them. figured no easy targets then. She is feeding Purina, GOLD'N Turkey Startena Crumble. She also added a touch of Sunflower Butter to their feed trays to help with any constipation.

That is exactly what a chick I have from this year looked like, hopefully the turkeys will improve with time like my chick did. Are they doing better?
