Hello, I'm new to turkeys and I have a broad breasted white turkey, she's been looking down lately, she won't follow me around the yard like she normally does, she just stays in one place mostly laying or in a crouching position. I've also noticed she isn't eating. her poop is almost all water with bits of grass. Her crop is empty and there's no signs of disease from what I can gather. She is currently in a pen away from the other chickens and turkeys just in case. Does anyone have an idea on what is wrong or how I can get her to eat? She has been like this for about four days and she is a year and four months old. Thanks.

What happened to your turkey? im asking because mine is following the pattern you described and Ive eliminated crop issues…debating diabetes insipidus (as compared to the diabetes that is insulin/sugar related). Ive contemplated parasites…but she doesnt seem to be sickly other than the lack of desire to eat…
