broad breast bronze turkey

[Elias grandma]

Purchased six baby turkeys in May. Two have developed arthritis like symptoms. One died and we butchered another today. Misinformed bones in wings and legs looks like bruising on chest and drumsticks does anyone know what this might be and is the meat safe to eat

Hi

Glad you could join the flock! I'm afraid I'm not a turkey person but I see you have posted in the turkey section already. I'm sure other turkey keepers will be able to help you with your questions.
Hope you find out what the problem has been for them and your others will be ok.

Wishing you the very best of luck and enjoy BYC

Welcome to the BYC flock! We are glad you joined us!

Sorry. I don't know much about turkeys so I hope you get your answer on the turkey forum.

Please do post on the "Turkey thread," and also on "emergencies, diseases, injuries, cures thread." giving as much detail as possible.
