At 12 weeks suddenly two of our turkey poults have developed turned/splayed legs. Has anyone had any success splinting at this age? And what kind of splint do you use?
 
One more thing, be careful with them around their water when you have taped their legs together--they can fall back into the water and drowned. Just a word of caution!
 
One legged birds don't manage very well. We had a bum leg amputated on a chicken and it did nit work out well.
