I'm worried that I know why this is caused.... but I'm looking for other peoples' thoughts before I say what's on my my mind.
I have a Tom turkey, he's a Broad Breasted Bronze and is approximately 5 months old. He's been eating, drinking and pooping normally but today he was walking like a drunk. Falling over a bit, wobbly, and loosing his footing. He's been eating I think 16% protein turkey food from the feedstore (it's a feedstore brand). He's my mom's bird so I'm not quite sure of the protein, I know it is low so he doesn't grow too fast, since we plan on keeping him as a pet. No other birds are acting like this and he has 5 others in the pen with him all eating and drinking the same food and water. They get scraps of grass and whatever they consume while they freerange- lately it's been a lot of slugs.
I'm really worried about him; what do you think is wrong and what can I do?
