Not sure what you're feeding them but young turkeys need high protein around 28% that's in game bird/turkey starter feed and shouldn't be getting any "treats."

Their water should be lukewarm, not cold, and always available.

The images posted are not normal behavior for healthy poults.

Oh sorry, my friends poults do that, she said as their wings come in, they're not sure what to do with the weight.

I know exactly what you're friend is talking about and it isn't like that. These are crouched down and huddled like they are sick or cold.
