3 month old turkeys dying

[Hard times farms]

I just got 4 new turkeys from a good friend and reputable breeder. They were all healthy and doing fine. They are 3 months old. Withing 3 days i have had 2 die. They have access to fresh water, food and in a good predator and weather proof coop. No signs of sickness or fighting between them. I live in North Carolina so the weather is warm now. I cant figure out why there dying off.any help would be appreciated

2 dead within 3 days of buying them tells me that they brought the malady with them from the other farm. Most things would, if acquired from your farm, take much longer to kill them.
What were they being fed where you got them and what are you feeding now?
Do you still have the carcasses?
If so, I would send them off to your state poultry lab for diagnostics. Otherwise you will only be guessing.

Im feeding them the same feed he did southern states gamebird developer 22% protein. He hasnt lost one bird in years

Do you still have a carcass? It needs to be refrigerated (not frozen)
The lab will probably send you a FedEx label for shipping the 'medical sample'.

Could it be stress from going from a off the ground pen to a coop ? But they dont act stressed. There eating and drinking like normal. I havent noticed any fighting between them

At 3 months of age, they should be ok with changes.
Really with the only symptom is dropping dead, it could be 100 different things and no way to know for sure without a necropsy.
One possibility since they went from wire to soil is coccidiosis. Since they haven't been exposed before they wouldn't have developed resistance but I think it would take more than 3 days to kill them.

sorry for you losses. With young turkeys I worry about worms, coccidiosis, blackhead, and necrotic enteritis. How many turkeys do you have left?
