a few of them breath kind of like they're stuffy nosed. they're other wise healthy, no droopiness, no signs of illness or anything.
 
Waiting eagerly for a response as I have the same issue. It's only one or two of mine so far as I can tell. They breath through their mouths a lot. I know that poults are fragile, and also that respiratory problems for poultry can be very dangerous and I'm worried

Lots of people warned me to expect losses but I don't want to lose a single one of them

I read somewhere that if turkeys have clean water, deep enough to dunk their heads in that it lets them wash out their nostrils and the problem solves it's self. I also met a lady with a pet turkey that she had to clean it's nose out with moist q-tips during out long winters when it spent extended time in the coop with the chickens...
 
If they are breathing through their mouths they may just be too hot. My turkeys and chickens will do that.
