And just to confirm the most humane way is by cutting the arteries upside down?

I hang my turkeys by their feet and cut the head off with a bypass style pipe cutter

I use this one.

I'm lazy, I shoot them in the head and then chop the head off with my hatchet.

I wanted to update y’all. We put our baby turkey out of his misery today. I chose not to eat him just because of the circumstances. I felt horrible. He looked to be in so much pain. I’m still not sure how he got so bad so fast. But, nonetheless we still have our baby palms rocking and rolling.

Would it be okay to keep them on the vitamin B? They are still on the game bird starter and they are now on grit for safe measure.

The vitamin B complex will be good for them now. Later when they are on adult feed, it won't be necessary.
