I have a 6 week old turkey that has slipped tendons on both legs. I have fixed it wrapped it and then fixed it and wrapped it again...🤦♀️ is there anything I can do for her??? Eats drinks and gets around ok considering. Im thinking I just need to out her down but figured I would ask and see if...
Wow that is horrible!!!
