Hi! I got 4 turkey poults from TSC on Thursday, today one started seeming very weak and lethargic so I brought him inside and put him in his own box with food and water (and a brooder heat pad). I’ve given him electrolytes through a dropper and he’s not eating. I checked his butt for pasty butt but that’s not the issue (also, he’s pooped 4 times since I’ve brought him inside) however, there is what looks like what may be where his yolk was attached and didn’t heal properly? I could be wrong, I’ll post pictures. I’ve raised chickens, ducks, and geese and never have I ever seen this? Can someone help and tell me what this is? I’d really like for him to be ok.

I can’t really tell what’s going on from the pics, usually that little scab just falls off as they mature. If it’s huge and looks like guts it may have a bad hernia
