I found a turkey hatchling yesterday driving down the road probably only about 2 weeks old if that. yesterday it was doing well now all of a sudden today it cant walk properly its using its wings liike a crutch. And it just lays in one spot with its eyes closed churping. I feel bad I dont want it to die what should I do?

Contact your local game & fish department or local game warden and turn it over to them.

Yes. In the mean time though, baby turkeys need to be kept very warm, do you have a heat lamp?

+1 on heat/temps. Also, what are you feeding it? Is it drinking?

If you want the bird to live, don't tell or give Game, Fish, and Parks that bird. I would say they would kill it.
