I hatched two turkeys yesterday from some eggs my mum was given to eat (!). I'm not sure what breed they are. Our incubation temps were a little low due to faulty calibration but they hatched without assistance on day 28/29. One is big and strong and charging around, beginning to eat and drink a little. The other is smaller (from a smaller egg) and seems a bit weak. He is still rolling around a bit, though can walk a little, but the two odd things I've noticed are 1) he seems to have a tremor, his head is often shaking a little and when he's asleep sometimes his foot shakes too and 2) he doesn't really cheep, he makes quite a breathy hoarse sort of sound which occasionally breaks into more of a cheep.
There's nothing else I can really see that's wrong but wondered if these were symptoms of anything anyone has experienced before?
