We bought 4 chicks at about 1 week old, and 2 red bourbon turkey chicks around the same age. They were all about the same size, and were doing great together. We (thought) we had been doing really well with this batch. It was a nice small batch, we have kept the bedding clean, they’ve had water with ACV in it in a plastic waterer, and the normal chick Crumble. Everyone was doing great. they have a heat pad(the mother hen method), they’ve been using it great, we watched everyone use it, eat, drink, everything. Go out one morning, both turkeys dead under the heat pad. The heat pad isn’t too low, and the Turkeys were fine the previous night. Went out 5 minutes ago and the healthiest feistiest chick Is dead just in the middle of the metal trough bin. It wasn’t a hot nor cold day today, the heat pad is still working, they still have feed and water. WHAT HAPPEND??? This has happened before Too.
