The NFC B-Day Chat Thread

I'm happy to report baby turkey is eating (copying the chicken chicks) and drinking for itself, and it is using its leg more than yesterday. I couldn't get through to the bird rescue place (they must be busy at this time of year) but its leg doesn't feel hot so I'm hoping there's no infection.

The kids brought in some grass seed heads thinking it might recognise them as food. It didn't get a look in as the chicken chicks went absolutely nuts over them, to the point where they were hanging onto them and could be lifted off the ground! 🤣 I'd never thought to bring seed heads in as entertainment for chicks.

(That chicken chick on the left makes me laugh). :lol:
The baby chicks act like tutors for the turkey polt!

The Polt looks healthy.
 
Good morning folks :frow

Jae, it's good that you have the chicks in there. They will teach the turkey how to stay alive. Feed is more of an issue, I'd add brewers yeast and something to boost the protein. Turkeys have similar needs as ducks. 24-28% protein and elevated levels of niacin, meth and something else. All of that can be found in the brewers yeast. Your chicks will do fine on something suitable for the turkey.

Good morning Bob, have a great day. After today we’re on the downhill side to Friday 😁
