I just bought two poults from TSC. Littlerally 2 hours ago I set them up in the brooder against an exterior wall. Didn’t put heat lamp on like an idiot.
Went to make dinner, daughter went in and said the baby turkeys are dead…. They spilled the water and we’re both soaking wet on their backs feet up… they are chirping but shivering sooo bad. Me and my oldest there’s some small had towels in the dryer an then used the blow dryer for a minute just to dry them up…. I know turkeys are so fragile. Is there anything else I can do for them??? I’m currently snuggling them wrapped in a warm towel
 
I would keep the hair dryer on low and keep drying them with it until they stop shivering. Keep the air flow moving, waving the air flow quickly from side to side so you don't create a hot spot, until their feathers are completely dry and fluffed. Good luck!
