out of 2 dz eggs I hatched one baby turkey. It is 4 days old and I keep finding it on its back. it is in the brooder with some week old chicks. this is my first turkey I need help.
 
Turkeys need higher protein than chicks too and you need to make sure it is eating and drinking sometimes they just stand around and will "starve out" and sometimes they just die for no noticeable reason too if they make it past 2 1/2 weeks you can stop worrying so much but they don't get natural immunity for 8 weeks.
