4-H Turkeys

[Casa de Poults]

We have three turkeys my kids are raising for 4-H White Breasted Meat Pens. This is our first year. One of the females is being treated for crop stasis. She was doing great. All of a sudden today, she wont stand up. We had to hold her up to feed her and give her water. We do this throughout the day. Could this be another problem from the crop stasis? They were hatched on the 6th of Feb so they are not that old yet.

Not sure if it's related to crop stasis but we always lose 1 or 2 turkeys every year. I know they're more delicate than chicks but it just seems to be the norm. We've had better luck with BBB than whites.
