    Issues with my Turkeys leg

    I have a white breasted turkey that is about a month old and I noticed a few days ago one of his leg appears bent or twisted.

    New babies

    I’m not new to “hatching” babies. Well at least ducks. This was my second time to hatch chickens and my incubator just wouldn’t hold the temp. It would fluctuate between 99.4 to 99.9 and sometimes go to 100.2...but never sit nice at 99.5. I had no issues with humidity until the day of hatch...

    duckling leg injury?

    at first I had no idea how he couldve hurt himself since their night tote is well, just a tote with two dishes and hay, but I think I figured out that there must not have been enough hay and he laid on the hard bottom for too long, that's the only explanation I can think of, I've never had this...
