So I got 8 turkeys a month ago.
All were doing fine a week into it I found 1 that I thought had pasty butt. They were all fully feathered when I got them home. This one was a little under feathered so he was under a lamp after I found him. (March 16th born)

After cleaning it seemed fine but bottom was very dark, so I made sure it poops just fine.
It is doing a weird cough sneeze thing, makes no noise at all like most poults do. I gave 5 days of tylon 50 and nothing changed! It has been 3 weeks it eats and drinks fine, obviously isnt blackhead like I thought.
Could it be a defect from birth? Something weird. I'm out of options and was going to cull I'm scared to put him back with the flock!

Also his poop is still sticking to his backside it is white and brown. Doesn't look abnormal other than it keeps sticking to him. He is tiny like 1/3 the size of everyone else too help!
 
I also need to clean the brooder box it is in. The box is wood, how could I clean it so that it is safe enough for my soon to hatch ducks!?
