We have a flock of about 20 turkey poults, about 15 weeks old. They are an assortment of hertiage breeds. Several of them are getting ill with symptoms that look like some kind of sinus congestion if that is possible at all! The area behind their beaks is swelling and goop is dripping from their nostrils. One has quite severe swelling up to it's eye and they seem to sneeze even. I have kept their water dosed with terrimycin (sp?) this past week but most seem to have continued symptoms. Any ideas to help save my flock? Thanks!

Molly, I am so sorry about all your turkey babies. I hope you were able to get them all well by now. It's been 5 days since you posted. I hope all is well. I wish I could help you but I really don't know what to tell you other than what you were doing for them. Are they outside yet? Almost 4 months old, I guess they would be by now. I put mine out at a few months old, they were getting so big.What kind are they?
