Sick turkey

[Turkey 101]

Hi my turkeys are over 10pounds already
Now they’re getting sick just standing up
With the head little backwards also sometimes they make circles with the head , not eating or drinking water is weird because they’re big already
Any help?

Either Blackhead or coccidiosis would be my guess.

@casportpony would ask "What does their poop look like?"

There are SO MANY things that it could be, but because you mention the odd head placement and movement, look up some pictures/video of wry neck and see if that looks like what's going on?

Botulism is another possibility especially if they have eaten something moldy.

A few more questions...
Where do you live?
Is a vet an option?
Are the turkeys pets or food?
