I have a turkey poult that is about a month old (4/5 weeks). She started looking poorly today when I let all the turkey babies out to clean their pen. Unlike all the others, she just laid on the ground and didn't run around. Basically she will occasionally stand but is very uneasy walking and only takes a few steps. She's still drinking and eating despite her weak and quiet state right now. When she is alert and not sleeping I'll bring the water dish and food dish to her. Her poop the last two times was light brown and normal, though the most recent one was mostly white and liquid-like. One last thing is her breathing. It's sort of making a weird noise, like a sticking or clicking. Not all the time. But once and a while, and I can see her cheeks puff all the time. No discharge from anywhere. In summary:
- Temp. 107.0 (not sure if it's normal or not, there's very little to no information on this)
- Breathing irregularities
- Light brown normal poops, and recently mostly white
- No strength or balance to walk
- Sleeps often, but still eating and drinking
