Turkey Poults flipping on their backs???

[horseshoecreekranch]

We have some 3 day old poults that keep flipping on their backs. We flip them back over and they get right up and run away. Then we come back and they are flipped over again. We have lost a few poults who did flipping. They also had open mouth breathing before they died. Does anybody know what this is and know what to do. Thanks!!

You can talk to Wes on here at Harp Turkey Ranch, he helped me with mine that were doing that. He said it was caused by a "late hatch". Meaning they stayed in the egg after the due hatch date. I'm sorry to say, but I lost both of mine that were doing this. I hope you can help yours and maybe have different results. He suggested puting molasses in their water and I did this.
Good luck and keep us posted.

oKAY WITH ALL THAT SAID HERE IS WHAT TO DO FOR THE NERVOUS SYSTEM OF THE POULTS

now the
natural probiotic recipe is is:
3 tbsp of dry crumbles
4 tbsp of milk, sweet, sour, or buttermilk or a mixture of all or some
1 tbsp of yoguart of non flavored yoguart ( no artificial sweetmer)
mix good
AFTER PUTTING VIT'S IN
PUT 1 TBSP OF APPLE SAUCE FOR THE WET MASH PROBIOTIC

NOW THE IMPORTANT INGRIEDIENT FOR EACH POULT FED
and add 1- 400 mg of Vit E by cutting the end off the vit E capsule for each poult fed this wet mash
putting it in the wet mash


OR FOR each poult your treating
so for each chick use 2 tsp of mixture and 1-1000 mg of Vit E

twice a day for them till they are acting better
probably two weeks

and feed each poult
2 tsp full of the wet mash probiotic and what they will clean up in 20-30 minutes
then clean wet feeders and restock dry crumbles

do this twice a day for a week
till the poults manure is right
then quit the Vit E make just the wet mash probiotic
then once a week for life

do not use ACV with medication

2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar per gallon of the poults water so their gut flora wil be regulated
they should have this at least 3-5 days a week
then three days aweek after they are better
the vit's are neccessary to clean up the damaged gut problem

email me any questions so you are not confused
