▲ 7 r/turkeys
It may be a lost cause at this point, but I'm trying to keep this baby turkey alive.
It has been in with a few other young turkeys and some chicks, it has figured out how to drink water just fine but I don't think it ever managed to eat more than a few crumbles of food.
Today it cannot walk/stand well and is making only very quiet sounds. I've tried feeding it with a soft mush, but it refuses to open its mouth. I managed to force a small amount into its beak and it immediately spat it out. It's still drinking water when offered. I can't think of anything else to do besides make sure it has a warm, dry place to die. If anyone has advice or ideas, I would be very grateful.
Update 4/27: it died this evening, but thanks all for the advice
