One of the turks can't seem to get one of it's legs under it....any idea if that will straighten itself out, or if there is something I should do?

How old? A baby?

You should hobble the legs together. There are some good instructions on the web.

yeah hatched last night

I had that happen last year. I watched the directions about hobbling for chickens. It worked fine.

Hi, I have around 60 poults that hatched this month. If it just hatched, leave it a lone for a day. Sometimes it takes time for them to come around. They need to rest and get their energy back from getting out of the shell. Make sure it's warm and sometimes it's good to put a standard chick in with it to show it how to eat and drink. Hope this helps.

Good job, thanks!

I neglected to add that I also got a lovely batch of Barnie eggs from Pysankygirl. If they do as well as her first batch did, I'll have lots of good Barnies! First batch goes to lockdown on the fifth. But I have 7/8 developing in there!

Good luck! You might also go to the Porter's Turkey website on raising poults. Just good to read.

Hobble them with little girl pony tail ties, Make a figure eight out of them. I saved allot of Ostriches this way.
