Hello, my turkeys hatched yesterday and one chick still isn’t able to walk or stand. The others from this clutch are doing great. What should I do or is this normal? I’ve never hatched turkeys before so this is all new to me. Thank you so much
 
I wouldstart some poultry vitamins orally that contain riboflavin. Poultry Cell is one that does, and you could also use human B complex tablets 1/4 tablet daily crushed into a bit of water, or Polyvisol without iron baby vitamins. Here is the turkey forum where you can reach more turkey experts:

Having a similar issue with a poult not walking quite right. Thank you for the link @Eggcessive! VERY HELPFUL :)
 
I bound the two legs together using a band aid, it could still walk but legs couldn’t spread apart. I am still giving him the vitamins in the water supply. After 2 days of using band aids boom he’s walking normal!!!
Our poult is still not well. Couldn’t keep the bandaid or painters tape to stay. Started vitamins last night along with a vitamin/mineral blend in the food. The bird is eating and drinking but can not stand upright very long and falls over sometimes on its back :( So sad and I’m starting to lose hope that we can save this one. We’ll see how the supplements go and I’ll try some physical therapy a couple times a day to see if that will help.
This is the only one out of the 13 we have that is having trouble. We anticipated worse numbers as this is our first go with turkeys.

glad your little poult recovered. Gives me hope!
