The baby chicks act like tutors for the turkey polt!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.

The Polt looks healthy.
