This nice thread has finally died cry

Hello, welcome - greetings.

My two turkeys recently hatched, the growth update of the babies (poults) will be primarily shared on this thread.

As at 20th November 2021 there has been 24 eggs laid, 12 hatched, 10 unhatched & 2 got eaten (i suspected the male turkey).

The hungry/yawning one at the last pic hatches today.

They stayed just 9 days with the mum Jenny before I separated them..

They are 7 in numbers but one died when they were three weeks but the others survived the infections due to timely administering of thyroxin med …

Sorry my brother … I had encountered such mass mutuality in my past for consecutives 6 times they all dies as soon as they clocked 2 weeks …


Firstly you needs to get a a strong spectrum medication for birds… (𝙏𝙮𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙣 𝙊𝙧 𝙙𝙤𝙘𝙭𝙮𝙘𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙤𝙧 𝙏𝙝𝙮𝙡𝙤𝙙𝙤𝙭 is expensive but it work magic.) mix any of those med with Gumbocin for continuous 5 days In their water …then you give them multivitamins for another 5 days …

You should repeat this every two weeks till they get to two months …


As you do this make sure you provide a clean housing with adequate heat source ….

As you can see from my previous post when they are 6-7 weeks ..they are tamed in an enclosed space with little and regulated vent for fresh air as soon as they are four days old …

I always let their mom Jen teach them how to feeds and drink within the first 3 to 4 days then I take them away from the mom…

I hope this work for you … feel free to reach on to me for further assistance in my dm if I’m late to reply you in here due to my inability to be online here always …

Frame 1. The Rafter are introduce into the flocks … which was easily than expected… they are 12 weeks old now … The dad Tom watched over them day and night while the mother and elder siblings are brooding their eggs ….


Frame 2.. The other mummy Jenny has hatched just 5 of the 10 eggs lay … they are 5 days old now I will withdraw them away from the mom when they clocked a week old …

The elder siblings to the 12 weeks old Rafter and their mom Jake will probably hatch their eggs by second weeks of April….
