Update: One died soon after we got them back, he seemed kinda sick from the moment i got ahold of them. The other one is doing great! I purchased four cornish chicks to put with it and they get fed crickets 2-3 times a day since the turkey doesn’t know to eat feed out of a feeder.

okay! thank you!! I’ve raised turkeys growing up but i also have always heard that wild turkey breeds are much harder to keep alive. These poults are NOT tame at all so it’s hard to watch them to see if their eating/drinking without freaking them out

I’m hoping i can keep them healthy! i wish there was a way to get them back to their mom but around here turkey chicks are often killed before their first week so if i can keep them alive then maybe i could release them eventually! (only if that’s legal and they are wild enough to not interact...

Just a little heads up: I did not catch these baby turkeys, some kids found them in the woods and grabbed two of them because they weren’t being supervised and everybody knows me as the “chicken girl” so they brought them to me. I have no way to get them back to their momma, she’s wild and long...

Update, the chick died despite my efforts. I think there was something internal that was beyond my control. Thank you all for your help. The other chick is doing great.

I have to help him eat/drink, he has drank a few times on his own but I have to assist a little bit. I have not seen his poop today however there was one little poop that was solid green and liquid. As far as food, I’ve been feeding them wet chick starter since I got them, one of them is picking...

They have a white heat lamp on them. With a small t shirt to keep the bottom of the box warm, it’s worked with all my other TLC babies but any suggestions are always welcome. They stay warm in their box but want something to get underneath. I have been monitoring the heat frequently I was just...

I will definetley try to get my hands on it. Would pedialyte work too? Like if I can’t get my hands on the nutridrench. I am getting as much fluid as I can in him but right now he’s tucked in the fold of a t shirt (he can get out easily) and is going to sleep finally so for tonight I will...

And also, I was told that the chicks were hatched about two days ago. They are around 3 days old now but that may be a little off, not much attention was payed to them before they were in my possession

Okay, in my experience it’s not supposed to be outside of the body at this point so do I just leave it alone or is there something I can do?

I have seen it poop multiple times, and I’ve assisted with eating but I watched it drink on its own a few min ago. And yes before I began nursing it, it was very lethargic. I think it wasn’t getting enough water, I was at school so I can’t be sure. Even now he’s slightly lethargic but WAY better...

Hello! I just joined an ag class that had hatched chicks recently and were keeping the chicks with other chicks of varying ages so I took home two bantam chicks that did not seem to be doing well. One of them was minutes away from death until I gave him a little sugar water, egg yolk and liquid...
