The turkey eggs hatched - we discovered this by going through the field and seeing the hen off , the nest , a couple of active poults, and a couple of bodies.
But that must be par for the course - if all eggs hatched, everytime. the world would be overrun with turkeys.
And one of the poults had the splay leg problem we had last time .
The hair-band last time didn't work, so more drastic measures were called for.
So :
We brought them in and gave them a rough surface to walk on.( corrugated cardboard)
And duct-tape is the answer to many problems. Perhaps its the answer to this ?
So the poult can stand ( and at 1 day
old, this one weighed 40 grams)
And 2 days later
