8 Day-Old Standard Bronze Poults!!

[KOTurkeyRanch]

Hey everybody!
I have got myself some bronze poults, unfortunatley when i picked them up at the feed store, out of 5, 2 had leg problems, (now getting better) and one had a closed, swollen eye with a crooked beak, any suggestions? I have 2 pristine condition ones who love the outside. They all get around to food and water, and i have been giving them worms, and shredded carrots and grass and clover...any other suggestions turkey experts?


btw this is my first batch(clutch i know) of turkeys i check on them everyday with clean water and feed and take them outside to get the feel of walking on solid ground.

Leave some comments and pray for the health of my poults!!!!

The hurt legs are more likely from them piling, as turkeys will do when they are frightened.

no they were crippled, i searched straddled legs and i found a method and they are getting better, the one i named crow because he/she just stands on one foot completely balanced (his foot has a minor joint problem)


i would be devastated if they grew up crippled or died
