Something is wrong with my turkey PIC

[dab045]

I just bought two white turkey babys here is a

pix of a problem I think? Does anybody know what I can do if anything?

Examine closely and check to see if this is extruded from vent/blocking vent. Are these Broad Breasted Whites? If it is eating and pooping without difficulty then the main problem will be the other poult's picking at it, so separate.
You might also want to start a new thread over on the TURKEY subject line, under Other Poultry (scroll down index - repost shot).

This might be something that will resolve as poult grows (hopefully).

Good Luck!

That looks like a prolapsed vent to me. Could be due to straining to pass stools.

One of my chicks had a similar issue

I soaked her bum in oil and gave her some grit (seperate from the others so there wouldnt be pecking). She made it thru- is almost 4 weeks old now, and I cant tell there was ever a problem.

Thank you but my little baby died this morning. I just got him yesterday and I feel bad I didnt do more. Now I have a little banam of some kind looking pretty weak.
