i have 9 sweetgrass turkeys that are very active and healthy, they are 2 1/2 mos. old. the only problem with them is that they have carmel colored runny stools. they are being fed 30% protein game bird feed and love it. i have other birds, chickens, turkeys and guineas, none of them have that problem. any idea what i can do to solve this problem? thank you
 
I would do two things. First I would cut back on protein. at 2.5 months, 22% crude protein is sufficient. By 12 weeks, you can cut back to 19%.
Then I would have a fecal sample read at your earliest convenience. That should tell what is going on.
Are they jakes, jennies or both?
Jennies can go with lower protein earlier.
