Try to date a conclusion of turkey poults for the end of May. On the street the warm weather is just established, the kitchen garden is put, and there is time to tinker with baby birds.
Instruction
1. Though turkeys diligent hens and careful mummies, always you watch how turkey poults are brought. Sometimes heavy and awkward can trample the kid. After the termination of a conclusion of all turkey poults it is possible to admit to a turkey quietly.
2. Begin to feed chickabiddies not later, than in 10 hours after birth. Spread on a floor newspapers, then burlap in two layers in the beginning. First, at turkey poults legs, and secondly do not part, they have gentle beaks and if they knock them on something firm, then then are ill. Pour a forage and you knock on a floor fingers that they began to peck.
3. Put water (slightly pink from potassium permanganate) in a flat drinking bowl - a saucer with the half-liter can turned on the center. It is possible to give also strong made (sung) tea.
4. In the first day usually you feed with the hard-boiled egg wiped through a sieve and fresh skim cheese. For the third day of life add to them small cut nettle, green onions or garlic and grated carrots. It is necessary to feed green onions and garlic to turkey poults in the afternoon. If to feed in the evening, he will cause strong thirst and young growth will not sleep at night.
5. In a week after a conclusion begin to give to turkey poults boiled millet. At first with egg, then without it. From this age include in the menu the bourgeois on the basis of the sour milk (or meat broth) mixed with crushed wheat, oat-flakes, wheat bran.
6. Also greens are well eaten (leaves of cabbage, beet, garlic stalks, a nettle, a lucerne, a clover, a plantain, a wood louse; the grass with bitter taste is especially useful: a yarrow, a dandelion, a sow-thistle), small cut and mixed with curdled milk, compound feed and additive of 10-12 drops of cod-liver oil on a baby bird. It is good to alternate cod-liver oil to vitamins trivit and tetravit (I part 100 ml in 1 l of vegetable oil and I add 1 h a spoon to a forage on 12-15 turkey poults).
7. Two weeks give vitamins, then for the same time take a break and give only a forage and greens. And even for strengthening of bones to a podsypta in the bourgeois the dried-up and ground shell from eggs or bone meal. For digestion regulation surely put it a pan with sand.
8. The brought baby birds need to provide the dry and warm place. Therefore the first two weeks do not let out turkey poults on walking (you take out only in a box and under glass). Up to three months in a literal sense protect them from a rain. If happens that the chickabiddy becomes wet, take away him to the house, dip pads into vodka, push in a throat 1-3 (depending on age) peas of black pepper and - on the warm oven. Give to the weakened turkey poults the glucose and antiscorbutic vitamin dissolved in water.
