Turkey poult pooping blood (Please help)

[shailey]

I have a 4-week-old standard bronze turkey poult who I've noticed has blood in his stool consistently. Not every poo, but I've noticed blood in his poo in at least 1-2 droppings each day. He's a bit lathargic, and by a bit I mean barely noticeable, but other then that he seems fine. I've given him corid for a total of 5 days now, and in between Gave him probiotics. When he was on the corid he seemed more sluggish, and when on probiotics he thrived. His poops seem to range from normal, to super watery, to almost foamy looking, to a weird paleish color. (Like the exact color of feed.) I genuinely have no idea what's going on, does anyone have any advice? I spend literally everyday with this bird, all day. He also does this weird thing where he flaps around and this sits down. Is that normal? He also seems pretty tired. I know birds shed their intestinal lining but surely not this much for this long?

(I know I've already posted this but no one responded for days so I'm trying again.)

Is a vet an option?

Do you have any Corid, antibiotics, or dewormer?

If he's never been outside it's probably coccidiosis. Do you have a food scale that you can weigh him on ?

Poults should make daily weight gains, so having a food scale will help you know if he's eating enough. So if possible, go get one, weigh him, and post his weight here.

Okay, thankfully I actually HAD one I just had to tear my kitchen apart haha. He's 253 grams

Great! Do you have liquid or powdered Corid?

This thread seems to have died out so I'd just like to add here; Kaisellin is doing great! I think I was just way over worried after his friend died. He's gaining weight daily and even has some friends to meet after they quarantine. I started him on corid again with a slightly higher dose then last time and it seems to have fixed him up! I think I was giving him too little of a dosage out of fear it may harm him (I know it wouldn't, but I was still unsure at the time.) He is growing very quickly, and always insists I be somewhere near him at all times. Thank you for all the advice! I never would've thought to weigh him, I'm so glad I know now! I'm hoping he does better with friends and doesn't need me as much, I already have a special needs house duck, I don't need a house turkey!


(Some pictures, because he's just so cute!)

Haha! He's so cute. He looks like he causes a lot of trouble daily

He totally does he loves to perch on my head and shoulders, and is obsessed with trying to rip my earrings and lip ring out. He also likes to try and fly everywhere, and he screams a lot

Not at all, unfortunately.
