I can't find another post like this, so here goes. April 17th, we brought home 4 poults - 2 bronze, 2 white (all broad breasted) One of the whites never seemed right, but seems to have come around and appears to being doing well. Last Saturday, BF went out to let them out of coop, one bronze was dead. The other bronze seemed off all week, but not abnormally enough to be worrisome. This afternoon, poor thing couldn't even stand - and died just a little while later. The 2 whites appear to be just fine (1 is named "Shithead" because he's a pain - loves his attention and affection and is always in your way!! :D ) All were eating and drinking just fine, there is plenty of shade for them to stay out of the sun...we are just clueless.
Any info anyone can give would be so very greatly appreciated. Thanks all
 
I'm not a turkey keeper, so I'm afraid that I can't help you, except to share that turkeys have a reputation for dying easily, so don't feel too bad that some didn't make it. My friend's mother used to say about certain picky people that they were "more delicate than a batch of baby turkeys" ("mas delicado que una cria de chompipes").
Hopefully someone with more experience comes along and can help you figure out what's going on.
