There are a number of knowledgeable turkey people. Most of them hang out in the Century of Turkey Talk thread.

Try giving it vitamin B complex. Make it by dissolving 1/2 tablet in one gallon of water. Make it the sole source of water. It should be made fresh daily.

It is good for all of your poultry.
