I have nine turkey poults and I've noticed their toe nails and beaks are falling off. They weren't clipped as babies and they're broad breasted. Wondering what this is. They seem perfectly healthy otherwise

How cold is it there, or where they came from? The toes look like they may have bee frostbitten in transit, and later fell off. Are you certain tthe beaks were not trimmed? Could they have broken the beaks off poking them on wire fencing?

They were shipped within Texas. Temperature was about 75-90F when shipped and yes these are some pictures before their beaks started coming off. The brooder is an old bathtub so I don't think they could've broken it on that
