Newbie to Turkey and need some advice

[neverbdone]

I have 6 BBB that are almost 4 months old. One of the girls was laying on her side last night and was very hot. I realized that all her breast feathers were pulled out and she can't stand up. She seems almost like a broody hen.

I separated her and gave her vitamin water with a little sugar and put food next to her. She drank almost a quart of water but didn't eat. Same this morning. She can't get up, but I gave her some hard boiled egg (for protein?) and she ate that. Any advice on what to do now?

How big is she? If she's huge, it's possible that her legs can't support her any more.

Yes, she is huge. Is that "normal". The others are actually bigger than she is, but they are OK. Will she be OK as long as she is eating and drinking? Also, she was very hot yesterday. I've moved her into a pen by herself with total shade. The others seemed to be picking at her.

It appears my sweet turkey hen has botulism. I doing a molassis flush and hope that works.
