When I first got these turkey chicks they were doing fantastic and were healthy and when I go to clean out their cage the brown ones leg is odd like and splayed even though she’s been good all week and her breathing sounded a little weird I put a bandaid on her legs like it said anyone know what’s wrong?

Slipped tendon has to be manipulated back into its groove and then secured there.

It is rarely successful to be cured.

It is often caused by feeding poults (baby turkeys) chick starter instead of the high protein turkey or game bird starter that they need. It can also be from an inherited tendency to the condition.
