I have a turkey no more than a few days old both of the eyes seem to be non-operable. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to be putting something on the eyes, also not really sure how to go about feeding this baby because I don’t believe it can find food on its own. I’ve given it about a milliliter of a teaspoon of molasses mixed with a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar and a gallon of water, which I read was good to do, but is that all I need to do?

I am more of a chicken person, but I will tag @R2elk for any advice. Do you know if the poult was pecked in the eye? You can put a small dab of Terramycin eye ointment into the eyes. Did you hatch it or get it from a feed store, or where? You can also post in the turkey forum here:
