I have one orphaned turkey chick I put in a brooder 2 days. I have a BO hen is in the process of hatching right now (I heard peeping under her tonight). If the turkey chick is only 1 week old (and desperately wants a home) would the hen accept it at this age do you think? I thought if I put it under her NOW rather than wait till she leaves her nest the turkey would have a better chance. Also, the turkey chick has darker stripes than the BO chicks will so it will look slightly different.
When do moms bond with their chicks?
