4 Day Old Poult Dying Please Help

[birdbrain5]

my turkey poults are about 4-5 days old, they are in with 2 chicks so they would teach them to eat and drink, everyone was fine, i turned the heat bulb on a little later than usual so they might have been a tiny bit chilly but then it warmed right up in there and i noticed one was real flat like, i tried to get him to stand but he wouldnt. i put him in a good spot with heat but nothing changed, temp is almost 100 in the light but plenty of room to get out of heat. he cant stand or move so i put him out of the heat to see if maybe he was too warm. now he looks like hes gasping. i dont know whats wrong hes on his side just gasping like. i gave some sugar water but not a real lot i dont know how much to give. thier water has had electrolites in it since the start. they are on a 24% protien because thats all i could find at TSC and the other grain store was out of anything higher. what should i do?? he is not too warm anymore hes out of the direct heat. these were hatched here so no way to really get sick i wouldnt think...

i posted in turkeys too, sorry if i shouldnt have i realized i should have posted here first.

Pretty much the only thing you can do is keep it warm and, if possible, keep it hydrated (be very careful with eyedropper/syringe when dripping water along side of partially opened beak). If it will drink then you can try to get some macerated meal worms on board (more protein). They fade pretty quickly when they start going downhill.
