I have a turkey that hatched out some eggs so I gave her six eggs one egg was in fertile two hatched three died while developing. The chick is a few days old and the second chick that hatched died. There are no stores around that have turkey chicks in stock, and everybody is out of chicken chicks. What should I do? Can the chicke be OK with just it’s Mom? I have hatched out chickens before, but this is my first time with turkeys. I currently have checks that are about to hatch it later today. Should I move the baby turkey with them? Or should I leave it with his mom? it is the turkeys first time with chicks.

I'd leave it with the mom. Be careful though, since she only have one chick she might decide it's no worth it and reject it. In that case put it with thee chicks
