I have a group of 13 week old turkeys and something just isn't right with 2 of the females. They are less active than usual and their feathers around their necks are fluffed. Their wings were a bit droopy this morning also. One of them had normal poop, but the other had greenish poop that was more watery than normal. They are occasionally standing very straight up with their tails pointed down and making a motion with their heads while stretching out their necks that makes it look like they are about to vomit or straining to poop. Their beaks remain closed during the odd motion. They are not having any respiratory symptoms.
I know turkeys are susceptible to cocci and I started them with corid in their water, but I have never seen that odd motion in chickens.
They did not seem to be eating as much as usual this morning, but they did eat mealworms, grass (lots of it), tomatoes and cooked broccoli this evening. They also ate some of their regular food and appeared to have their appetite back.
Their skin on their heads is pink and they are still vocal and flying to me. Please help!
