Turkey Help!

[theresahager]

My daughter & I found a day or 2 old baby turkey flopping around on the side of the road. I set it up in my brooder that I had used for my chicks. Ran and bought grower starter multi flock. Ground some in a mini food processor & gave it water. It seems to be doing better, any advice?

Greetings from Kansas, theresahager, and

! Great to have you aboard and nice rescue! All I know about turkeys is that medicated feed is a no-no so be careful with that, and they require a higher protein feed, especially as chicks. You might consider some poultry vitamin enhancements in the water as well. Last advice...if this is a wild turkey you might keep it on the down low...not sure of your local laws and regs. Good luck to you! Oh, and also check out the turkey forum below!
