I have a red bourbon ~3mo old that has had leg weakness for about 1 month she gets around and is eating and drinking but her condition has not improved. The legs have a strange almost bend to them just below the hock hoint. Her feathers/ coat also appear unthrifty for lack of a better word. She also has a blueish hue to her neck and back of head it's not red like the 2 standards we have don't know if this is a symptom or just skin coloring because of breed differances. She has been on Flock feed for 1 month also before that it was the medicated feed. Any suggestions.
 
I would try all purpose vitamins and be sure to have selineum and vitamin D and B in them
I would definitely switch to game bird starter if you can. It has extras nutrients that turkeys need. It also has more protein, because turkeys need more protein than chickens. Hope this helps.

re unthriftiness, she may have cocci, was she on medicated food earlier?
 
Thank you I have her with my meat chickens because the other turkeys are to agressive to her. Will the vit supplement hurt them if I put it in the water for all? I tryed to separate her but her condition got worse with stress of being by herself.
