Hello! I have four 2 month old turkeys. 2 blue slates and 2 bourbon red. The bourbon reds seem to be males as one struts and the other already gobbled and struts. My two blue slates seem to be females. However, just a few days ago, I found one of the blue slates walking normal forward, but would stumble backward like she couldn't get her balance. She can walk fine sometimes. However, when she goes to stop walking, she stumbles. Sometimes she goes to move and nose dived to the ground. She can't really jump and fly up anymore like she would before. It seems like she's off balance. I isolated her, and she's eating and drinking just fine. I put apple cider vinigar and electrolytes in her water and have her still on Purina Game Bird 30% Protein Starter feed. I checked her for injuries on the legs and back, but I didn't see any. She sleeps fine, and they are all locked up at night so I'm not concerned about predators. I am just so confused at what to do. Because I can not figure out what it could be. This has been going on for 3 days. It's not improving but not getting worse. She still eats good and drinks lots of water. This is my first time with Turkeys! Any advice would be appreciated!
Thank you.
She is on the left in the first picture. She is also slightly smaller than the rest.
