Yep, it is cocci - sometimes, the stress of a move can bring a mild infection to a head. Need to treat w/Sulmet or Corid ASAP.
Definetley cocci. I had 2 die of the same thing. Pick them up and see if runny stuff runs out of their mouth. Thats an even biggermsign of more serious cocci.

I would to be safe. I know it can spread in chickens but im not sure to different breeds--- I'd recommend moving the turkeys for safety.

The above is not a sign of coccidiosis. Runny stuff can come out of their mouths when you pick them up just because you've pushed on their crop - or because they weren't done swallowing water. Cocci is an intestinal issue.
The bloody stool is, however a sign of coccidiosis.
Coccidiosis protozoa are species specific, meaning turkey cocci infects turkeys, and chicken cocci infects chickens, and dog cocci infects dogs. It is unusual for full grown chickens to have cocci, but since they are new to your place, i would definitely treat them immediately with Corid or some other brand of liquid Amprolium. If you can't get the liquid Amprolium, then Sulmet or powdered Amprolium can also be used. Let us know which you get so that we can advise the correct dose for the correct form of medicine.
If your turkeys are in the same pen with your chickens, you may want to separate them while you medicate your chickens. The chickens need to drink only the medicated water while they're being treated, and you may not want to medicate your turkeys who aren't sick.

Honest mistake. You should be able to trust the "professionals," right?
I don't have any medical degrees or other pieces of paper that make me right. However, i think it is important for all of us chicken keepers to be aware that there are a lot of vets out there who will tell people things about chickens that can be verified nowhere. Sad, but oh so true.
I know there are - there must be - some really great avian vets out there who have their facts straight, but i have heard some amazing tales of misinformation since reading on BYC and researching matters on my own.
So i would advise anyone to verify what your vet tells you by doing your own research. Google (or Bing or whatever) is our friend - we don't have to depend entirely on what a vet or anyone else tells us. We can do some research and find out a lot on our own - we can at least verify to make sure our "professionals" have their facts straight, so they don't lead us astray. This protects us and our chickens.
That was a short soap box of mine. I'll step down now.
