Turkey sick?

[Marystapleton]

My adult turkey Tim is acting ill . He's laying around a lot and tired. Just seems drained.. he's not eating and not really moving around a lot. Doesn't seem too aware. . he's free range family pet

Anytime a bird is not acting normally, lethargic, not eating or drinking, then something is wrong. I have no experience with turkey's so you may want to try posting on that thread also. I would check him over thoroughly, look at skin under feathers every where for any kind of wound or injury. Get a look at droppings, see if they are normal or not. Any signs of respiratory issues, coughing, sneezing, wheezing, discharge from eyes, nares, beak. Those are going to be things that will be needed to know to help. Also the age of the bird, how long it's been going on, how it's housed, what you feed, and numbers/types of any other birds you have.
