    Turkey chick doing backflips!!!

    I have a 3 day old Bourbon Red Turkey chick who has something wrong with one of his feet. At first I thought it was just straddle leg so I put a straddle leg splint on his legs but now I think its something else. Straddle leg is where the chicks legs are splayed out, right?? Well thats NOT...

    Chicks + worms = ridiculously entertaining!!!

    I just introduced my young chicks to a squiggly wriggly worm for the first time and boy did they love it, but I think I found it more fun to watch than they loved chasing it. I hid the worms in their bedding and the minute I put them back in the pen they were scratching and pecking trying to...

    Deformed chick........cruel to be kind??

    Deformed chick........cruel to be kind??

    Ye4ah, he has managed to make it out of the egg when it looked like he had no chance!! I am going to leave it a few days, maybe put him in an intergration pen beside the other chicks and make sure he is not in any sort of pen........hopefully the other chicks will accept him because I just don't...

    I put him in with the other chicks and his fellow turkeys started pecking him (because unfortunately this breed is really quiet aggressive).

    Deformed chick........cruel to be kind??

    I would love to do that but would I be doing it just to make me feel better. What kind of quality of life is he going to have if he has to be seperated from all the other chicks and be left on his own most of the time??
