sick turkey

[watson35]

I recently moved to a different place and my Tom is acting different the next day, he keeps his head down.. he won’t eat or drink and he hasn’t pooped but when he gets up he slings his head little cycles he can’t keep his balance he has a wing down and wing up and he keeps his eyes closed

He sounds very sick. Is he a broad breasted or heritage? How old?

 

[watson35]

He’s a bronze turkey, he’s a year old he’s been eating and drinking and moving a little bit but he still does the neck thing

There are bronze broad breasted, and heritage bronze. I only ask because broad breasted are not long lived birds generally.

He is doing better but his neck is still side way a little but he’s been eating and drinking but the female quit plucking her feathers out when we got rid of 5 males
