Hatched a Wild Turkey Egg

[ResaMarie81]

my friend found an an abandoned wild turkey egg. She has an incubator and candler and has now successfully hatched her baby turkey. Any suggestions for how to raise this bird? She has no other poultry or chickens and she can’t keep it since she lives in the city. We have a farm with ducks and chickens but no turkeys, so not sure about mixing the poultry together. My chickens are meat birds, so I can’t put the turkey with them long term anyways. Can it ever live back in the wild? So many questions and I know nothing about turkeys.

Best is to get advice from a licensed wildlife rehabber.
Do a search for Wildlife Rehabilitator in your state. Good luck!
