Hello again! I hate having to post here, lol. I bought these 3 sweetgrass turkey poults from a breeder about a week ago, all about 6 weeks old, and ever since I brought them home they acted a bit tired. They weren't super lethargic, they were eating and drinking and having bursts of energy and perching, but all together compared to my 2 6 week olds that I raised from hatch, they were less active. I found blood in their poop, and started treating them with Corid as a safety measure. I'm on about day 6 of Corid at this point, and I've noticed a lack of blood in poo recently. The babies still seem a little tired however, and today I heard one of them have a drastic voice change. It sounds nasally, crackling when it makes any noises and sometimes just out of it's nose when it breathes. It acts a little more tired too, sitting up on the branch most of the time and hanging out there. I saw them eat and drink at least once today.
I'm wondering if it's been something respiratory this whole time, and if I should go ahead and do antibiotics just to be safe. If so, what should I use? I do not have current access to Tylan 50. I can try and order some but I don't know how long it will take to arrive. I have access to: Tylan 200 (really expensive), Duramycin 72-200, both from Tractor supply (I'd have to go buy them first, so I want to make sure they're fine to use before I spend money).
This is for 6 or 7 week old turkeys. They aren't very big. I saw some suggestions on using Tylan 200 but those were for full grown chickens, not a turkey poult, so I want to be careful not to use too much of anything. If there's another medicine usually readily available that I can get ahold of you can suggest it as well and I'll see if I can.
I'm going to go ahead and try and order some Tylan online as well, so are either of these a good thing to order?

The Jedd's tylan powder for pigeons is always out of stock every time I look.
I will mention I changed their bedding yesterday, and I noticed that these wood chips have a lot of extra finer... tiny flakes? I always get the big flake bedding, so I thought it was weird that suddenly this big flake bag has a lot of super fine chips mixed in as well. I might be overreacting, but I also really don't want to risk losing these guys with inaction.
Thank you.
