we have a couple adult turkeys and decided to purchase a few young ones this summer. They where fine but all of a sudden,once the young ones hit 2-3 months ,they acted lethargic, got yellow poop and within a day were laying dead in the yard. They all died within a week of each other and only showed symptoms a day before they died. Does anyone know what this is and why it happened to our young ones? They are exposed to chickens but the adults have been for a while now also and didn't die. Today my Tom is looking a little out of it and I'm not sure if it's due to him being alone because my adult hen is sitting or if he's sick. Any idea what this, what would cause it and how to cure it? All get all flock feed whole corn and free range. As far as birds go we have chickens peafowl turkeys geese ducks and guineas that run around the yard and penned up quail but the only disease I know of is black head they get from chickens
