    4 wk old turkey can't stand

    I have 13 eastern wild turkeys. 4 weeks. Tuesday one started sitting like on the back of its legs then as the day went on couldn't balance very well and would flop forward/backward/ on its side. It gets a little better then a little worse. It still eats and drinks. Any suggestions to a cure?

    Really sick baby!

    iwiw60 well I had my doubts but I put a blanket down under them so air wouldn't hit their belly. And it was fairly warm all night. I had a heat lamp above the blanket and put them on it before bed. They all seemed fine besides being exhausted from running like crazy. I just want them to get used...
