Help please. 3 turkeys 12 weeks old. Raised in the house until they were 6 weeks. Then out during the day but back in the house at night. At 9 weeks old they were put out in a wire bottom enclosure off the ground but grazed in a movable pen during the day. Never housed with our chickens or on ground where chickens had been. But maybe our shoes carried something from one to the other? So the problem, 3 days ago one was acting droopy on and off throughout the day. It had been super had upper 90s then dropped to 70s and 60s at night. But when we picked her up she was much lighter than the other 2. The next day she and another one was really droopy and ruffled feathers...not eating. No yellow poop just runny poop. They were drinking quite a bit. I started corid for possible coccidiosis but did not see bloody poop. Ordered Metroplex that should arrive today. We have hand feed game bird starter (what they have always been on) moist with electrolytes and cayenne pepper. Given yogurt and scrambled eggs free choice that they do pick at. They seem a little better today. Picking at grass and food (with cayenne pepper) but still act droopy on and off and not eating the crumbles a lot. Should I stick with what we are doing? Or when the Metroplex arrives today give them that? Can I give them the corid treatment for 3 more days after giving the Metroplex? Just concerned about doing too much at the same time but not wanting to miss what I should have done. Pictures of poop from today attached. I just don't see yellow or blood so I don't know what to treat for. I have safeguard as well if I should throw that in there too. Thanks
