    Turkey poult growing slowly - should I worry?

    This is my fourth experience raising turkey poults. I'm new to this, I've only ever raised chickens and waterfowl before. It's parents both grew much faster than it is though, which caused me to worry. I take those daily, so I'll start that today too. Thank you so much! I really appreciate...

    Turkey poult growing slowly - should I worry?

    I'll switch it to something else today. I was trying to supplement the missing vitamins with the nutri-drench.

    Turkey poult growing slowly - should I worry?

    I have a royal palm x bronze breasted poultry that seems to be growing really slowly to me. I'm already worried, but I don't know how worried I should and whether or not I should be doing something more for it. It hatched late May 30th or the wee hours of June 1st, and it's still mostly baby...

    First time with an incubator

    Thank you. Coming from someone more experienced in this, it means a lot. We named them all. Sunkist the one from post 11, Tio is the second gold colored one, and Punkin is the black and yellow.

    First time with an incubator

    It's actually just a Maglite, cupped in my hand. Worked beautifully as a candler.

    First time with an incubator

    One is the baby from post 11, but we ended up deciding cull the one from picture 17. I feel like murdering monster, but I believe it was the right thing to do.

    First time with an incubator

    I lost the youngest one. I've got three, seemingly healthy, babies left. They all eat, drink, and run around like crazy. Super active. I hope they stay this way.

    First time with an incubator

    I'm down to four. The last one to hatch is drinking, but hasn't eaten. It can't stop flipping to it's back because it's legs don't fully work. It's a LOT more active and vocal than on day one, but we're still highly concerned.

    First time with an incubator

    So this is what I ended up doing. It looks bright, but I've got a temp gage in there and am monitoring it. She's moving around a lot more now, which I think is good. I separated her from the others because they were chewing on her feet and walking all over her.

    First time with an incubator

    Number 6 is fully dry and in the brooder, but can't stand up or hold its head up. I'm really worried.

    First time with an incubator

    Number six is working it's way out. The last two look like that had at least one docent parent from the rest. They have black on their beaks and feet. I'm hoping this is a good sign. The little guy in the above pictures is doing well, but no improvement on his feet or legs. He's eating and...

    First time with an incubator

    Can I do anything to help this baby's legs? He's been out of the egg about 24 hours, but there's no improvement on his feet and legs.

    First time with an incubator

    Number five is out! It looks normal, no visible malformations. Certainly has at least one different parent, it's almost completely black, including its beak and feet. Six still hasn't pipped. Should I be worried? There's still movement inside the egg.

    First time with an incubator

    I know the malformations aren't normal, but I was trying to lie to myself about the other one. The fifth egg is starting to zip now, though the 6th hasn't pipped yet even though I can hear, see, and feel it moving around.
