I had 3 eggs in my bator, one did not develop the other 2 were moving. one pipped so i waited all day, no progress. This morning i finished the hatching which had been almost 24 hours. It does not stand very well and look a bit weak. i put it in the house brooder to keep a watch on it. the other egg i pipped it this morning to find it was shrink wrapped. I a bit bummed but I know they are very fragile.
what should I do for the one that is alive. thoughts please. (this is my first time trying turkey eggs.)

Don't dust it, do you have turkey starter? Do you have some electrolytes, or nutritional packets for the water? A heat lamp? Most animals are a little wobbly right after birth.Welcome to byc!! Glad you could join the Flock! Let me know if you need anything!:wee:woot:welcome:highfive::yesss:
 
Give it some poultry nutri drench a a drop or 2 in its mouth and put some in its water until the water looks like tea. The nutri drench usually helps them recover and gives them an energy boost.hope the little guy feels better.:jumpy
