New to turkeys, sick baby, please help!

[casportpony]

I’m not new here! My post is a little misleading, I’m adding 3 new chicks and a turkey to my existing flock of 21 chickens Anyway here’s the pictures of my poult (thank you!)and his poop. he has perked up a little after I gave him some sugar water but he is still weak and upset. I don’t know why
His toes curled in the first picture, I know he doesn’t have curled toes i have had a chick with that, he also doesn’t have splayed legs. When he does walk he walks normal.

I saw you joined in January, so that why I said welcome to BYC. His poop looks pretty good so that okay for now. What are you feeding him? If you are feeding a chick starter I suggest that you find a proper turkey starter and fee that instead. Chick starter doesn't have enough of many vitamins, amino acids, and minerals that baby turkeys (poults) need. Some of these could cause the symptoms you are seeing.

He needs a proper turkey starter or grower. Purina's calls theirs "Game Bird Chow Startena".

@georgieboy11 , how is your poult doing?

I am heading out today to get some turkey starter and hopefully a couple of friends for him. He’s doing a lot better and running around and flapping his wings a lot! It’s so cute to watch him play with the chicks, my chicks always run and jump and flap their wings at eachother and he started to join in too. I have been checking about every 40 minuets to show him where the food and water is to make sure he eats and drinks and he’s doing great. Thanks for the help!

I'm so happy he's doing better.

How's he doing?

He is still doing a lot better. just a few issues. I got the poult feed for him, but I haven't been able to find him any friends yet. The big R I got him from is out of poults and won't be getting them in for two weeks. I still have him in with the chicks and have noticed that recently he won't actually peck at the food from the feeder he will only peck it off the beaks of the other chicks, I have no idea why. I have been getting him out and making sure he eats any way I can like he loves to peck on my carpet so I sprinkle his feed on my carpet and let him peck it. Also, I give my chicks yogurt as a treat sometimes and he seems to like that. Another weird thing I have noticed is that he's been sneezing and his nostrils seem a little crusty, I will post a picture in a little bit.
