Help! I don't know how to fix this, as you can see both of my sweet babies are belly bound and can't get up, 1 will be 2 days old other will be 1 day old, I have hatched numerous Turkeys and never had this happen, I herd and read about this, how can I help them? In details plz what can I do? I'm so upset and keep blaming myself over this because I had to have done something wrong, I haven't slept in 3 days, plz some body If I lose my babies I don't know how I can live with myself.
Thanks for all or any help

Get a couple of glasses, jars or container that is big enough for them to fit into but without any extra space so they can't lie down sideways. Line the bottom with a paper towel or grippy shelf liner. Place them each in their own container so they are forced to have their feet under them.

They should be fine in 24 to 48 hours.

Do I need to syringe feed them water and what about food how do I get that in them and how often

It would not hurt to offer them a little water but they can get by without food for at least another 24 hours. By then, they may be standing and walking on their own. If you had placed them in individual containers a day ago, they would probably already be fine.
