My hen is raising 4 poults. I put one more up, and it apparently wasnt ready for her. I came up tonight to find it life-lessly laying on the ground. I picked it up, thinking it was dead, but i heard it breathing. I ran down to my brooder for ducks, and put the light inches away from it. It is awake, alive, and doing pretty well. However, i have a question. My dad had to help one turkey out of his egg, and now he is fine, except his neck. It droops. He tries to walk and tumbles. However, if i hold him i can put it up normally, so i think as he eats and gains strength it will be fixed. Any thoughts?
