In March my turkey Tommie was a beautiful loving turkey who loved me and my family. She would always jump up and down when she saw us and would make cute little purring sounds. After March she started to loose less and less energy. She’s the only turkey in our flock and the chickens are afraid of her, so I give her lots of attention so that she can have a friend. Her energy loss was one thing, but when she started loosing the bright red color she once had on her face, and started loosing feathers I began to become concerned. Every one I asked said, “she’s just molting” but over 6 months is way too long of a time period for molting. She doesn’t respond with her cute little purrs anymore and she’ll only move when she’s hungry. Her poops are thick dark brown with a hint of white. Her face is a dark purple, and she’s about 1 1/2 years old. I’ve rolled out wry neck, molting, and black head. Please help me get back my happy little girl I once knew! (The first one is what she looked like back in March the second one was taken a few days ago)

Oh wow ! That's a big difference ! Maybe her immune system ? Is it the blackhead parisite ? I'm not very knowledgeable about turkeys , sorry bout your girl and good luck !
 
Im sorry cant help dont know anything about turkey chickens and quails my extent of knowledge just wanted to say hope u work out whats wrong and she gets better soon does look like a dramatic change though and the waddle area does look really dark now 💖💖
 
Oh wow this looks alot what my pour boy died from a few months ago. He was around a year old. He stopped talking and and no energy. It took all he had just to eat. I thought it was blackhead disease but not sure. His name was Rocket.
Did your turkey make it? I know this happened months ago to your pour girl. I just got me some baby turkeys and had a question and I seen your post.
