I am new here. I got 4 BBB Turkey poults five daysago at the feed store. I live in Alaska so it was a 4 HR trip home. The first day they all seemed OK. The next one wouldn't eat and I spent 2 days feeding it with an eyedropper before it died yesterday. This morning another one started not eating, acting droopy, and huddling under the heat lamp. I put it in a separate box for a minute or two while getting some food in an eyedropper for it and it passed a large white "thing". I don't think it was poop...proabably a parasite. It was an inch and a half long, maybe an eighth inch around and tapered on one end. A fair amount of liquid/mucous flecked with blood passed with it. I'm worried I'll lose all the turkeys and they might pass whatever this is to the chickens I have. I can't go to a vet because the nearest is 100 miles away and I don't even know if they treat poultry. The feed store with any medicines is 200 miles from here. Any ideas?-
