Title: 6 out of 6
Post by: The Chicken Lady on July 10, 2011, 07:26:10 pm

I have hatched 6 out of 6 turkey eggs. Known as the turklets. One can't stand as it's legs keep going sideways. I have tried it on a piece of carpet but it made little difference. I have tied some soft narrow cotton tape to pull them together and this is helping. Will it cure it or am I fighting a loosing battle?

Hobbling does work most times, keep them on for 24hrs and then it hould be ok. We got 24 out of 24! 3 have since died , must be a good year for turkey hatches.
