My three month old blue slate started acting funny two weeks ago, acting like he was drunk, unsteady on his feet, shaking his head a lot, using his wings for balance.
He's eating and drinking good, he just has trouble with balance.
I isolated him to a pen by himself because I was told maybe Mareks disease and it would spread thru both flocks I have, breeders and 40 young two month olds.
It's been two weeks, I started him on antibiotics, vitamins with electrolytes. He was perfectly healthy and beautiful young Tom until last week.
I had him in with the two month old BBb about all the same size until this and their all doing great..no signs of being sick..
Question: any ideas as to why he's still walking funny.? He seems to be doing some better but still walking funny. Eating and drinking fine.
 
Hello, what was the outcome with your turkey? I have the same issue with one of mine.
 
Is he coughing or sneezing? Can we also get a good picture of his head and neck? Did you de-worm prior to antibiotics?
