New Turkey poult questions / help

[Elektra2167]

Hello, I just received my day old (now 3 days old?) turkeys. 3 of them didn't make it. Most of them have pure liquid poops. I have had chickens for over 30 yrs, but this is my first time venturing into turkeys.
Are the poops normal for poults so young? Could they have worms / bacterial / something? at this age??
Sorry if these are dumb questions, but again, totally new to turkeys so not sure what is normal.

Not worms...

What are you feeding?

I just picked them up from the post office this morning. So they haven't eaten a lot of anything yet, although the marble trick helped a lot. Right now I have 28% starter.

Newly hatched poults just like newly hatched chicks will have highly liquid poops that are often green colored before they start eating regularly.

OK, thank you! These were really clear, with no color at all which is why I found it odd. Only a couple had any color to them, which i found more normal.
However, the 13 of them all seem to have settled in now and are eating and drinking, so fingers crossed they continue to do well!!

Good luck. Nothing as cool as turkeys! Here’s my babies that are 14 weeks! They grow crazy fast!!!
