I would give it some electrolites in the water.

I'm still interested in information on how to deal with this, but unfortunately this little poult just didn't make it. I am learning that turkey farming is much more difficult then chickens. I am unsure if this was a dehydration issue or if it never figured out where the food was.

Thanks.

Turkey poult health

I have a Bronze poult that is not acting like the rest of the group. It is very lethargic and is just laying around. I have pulled it out of the brooder into a separate location to prevent it from being trampled by the other poults and I can monitor it better.

My question is what can I do to try and save it? I am giving it sugar water via eye dropper but have been unable to get it to eat food. I have already lost 2 poults and trying to keep this one alive.

What can I do to improve its odds? I know that it is just a turkey but really want to get it past this stage. This is my first time with turkeys and I am getting very discouraged.

Thanks for any information!
