Baby Turkeys eye

[bothpawsoff]

Hi all,

We just hatched out a baby turkey and one eye is way larger than the other. He now has it closed and won’t open it, he hatched like that. Any advice on what to do?

Thanks all!

Those have always ended badly for me. I now cull them as soon as I find them.

Oh man, ok . Does the eye explode and kill the chick?

No, but it doesn't get better and it isn't long until wry neck starts.

Ok thank you. What a bummer, we love this turkey too.

Sorry. It always sucks but in the long run the sooner done the easier it is on everyone.
