Hi
I have incubated 5 turkey eggs. Three of the babies are growing...now nearly a week old.
The other two are still weak and I cant put them with the others as they arent keeping up with them. They are still in the incubator. They seem very lethargic and not growing despite syringe feeding. Im trying so hard with these little ones.
They both had a rough start...one was unable to walk for two days and we thought he was paralysed and was going to die but he picked up. The other kept falling over too. They can both walk now but just seem very weak. And half the size of the other three.
Any advice to help save these babies?
 
Im not the most experienced, but I would put them in with the rest. Put polyvisol and just a touch of sugar in the waterer. And, after an hour getting used to the new place dip their beaks.
 
Im gonna put them with the others today. Not much room in incubator and worried they cant exercise.
Will still do regular syringe feeds. They are half the size of the others
Worrying
 
One of the weak ones died yesterday after all the intensive care. Still got another weak one and he is not growing while his siblings are twice the size
