Even after doing this for almost 2 years now i still make mistakes, like this one. When I rotated the baby turkeys i put them in the nursery. We had a big rain that night. The next morning my papa, Nicolas said that the poults were not moving or chirping like they usually do. He went to look and thought that ten of them had been drowned in the rain. He took them under the heat lamp where they dried off and got there strength back. Still, 3 of them died.
You will find that most of the time they will stay at the heat lamp. It is like their mom. But if they get cold when they are outside they will run back to and from the heat as they please.
