Turkey poult sick

[Notchman]

This morning I went out to my turkey coop to find three poults running around. I had no idea my turkeys were sitting so I didn't look for little ones. Before I could open the gate the Tom gabbed a little one killing it. I moved both survivors to a brooder box. One poult is chirping and running everywhere aleady, the other is lethargic at best. The lethargic chick appears to have a growth on its belly, as if part of the yolk is not absorbed.
Ive never raised young turkeys before and I don't know if its normal to have such a crazy high mortality rate.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
