I have 3, 12-14 day old Broad Breasted Bronze turkey chicks. They have been doing amazing ever since I purchased them from TSC. Ive had them 10 days. But today when cleaning out their brooder, I noticed one of them has discharge from it's left nostril. Its open mouth breathing a bit but other than that it's still eating, drinking, and moving around as usual. It's đź’© is normal. They are fed Purina Game Bird Starter, and Encore Avian Gro-Rite supplement. They also receive nutri-drench in their water twice daily when I clean and refresh them. Brooder heat is set at 95 right now. I just decreased it from 100 last week. I'd attach a photo but it's not keen on sitting still long enough. What could be causing this? And is there anything I can do cure it? Any helpful advice is very much appreciated!! Thank you.
 
If there are no other symptoms but a slightly runny nose, then I agree with that it might've gotten some dust in its nostril from when you were cleaning it out. See if it goes away after a bit. If it dries up, then yay! Healthy turkey. If not though, then keep an eye out for any new or worsening of symptoms that might help you figure out what's wrong.
