Still chillin' with my peeps
Honey: blue slate turkey hen, 6 mos. old
Symptoms: drooping wings, lethargic (sudden onset, fine last night)
one watery poo slightly greener than usual, w/ some yellow bits and
some whitish, mucus-y looking liquid
no other symptoms
Diet: Purina Sunfresh game bird crumbles free choice
scratch grain (couple of scoops scattered in the run for everyone)
veggies past their prime but not spoiled
Flockmates: standard LF , OEGB BBred bantams, silkies, and 2 guineas
Run: grass and currently mud (2 areas stay muddy during the wet seasons)
approx. 125' X 50" w/ 6' chain link fence
Honey has never laid an egg (don't know what age turkeys start, but I'm guessing she's still rather young for that), and up until this morning has been fine. When I went to let them out this morning, she didn't come charging out the door with the others; she stayed up on the roost boards, wings drooped a little. I set her on the floor and she walked out slowly, then expelled a poop (described above). She just doesn't look like she feels good, and if something's going on I want to get a handle on it immediately! She's a very sweet, much loved bird and I would really appreciate any help or advice. She's the only turkey I have, and she's here b/c a friend was no longer able to keep her. Thank you in advance for your help.
ETA: she was vaccinated for Marek's at the hatchery; I don't know if she had any other vaccinations.
