Wounded
This turkey poult (the name for a turkey chick) was separated from its mother and siblings because of a broken wing and probably more internal injuries. Nearly 40 percent of turkey nests fail and about 60 percent of turkey poults die during the first 14 days of life, mostly from predation. We fed and watered the poult, trying to keep it alive, but it died about 12 hours later during the night.
Meleagris gallopavo
