Hi all,
Fairly new to the site, and really new at raising birds. I recently ( a week ago ) picked up my turkeys and meat birds from the local feed store, about 2 days ago I noticed one of the turkey chicks limping.Later that evening it couldnt hardly stand on its leg. When it rests, the leg sticks straight behind for the most part.Although once in a while he/she tucks it. It looks swollen, and quivers quite a bit. It seems to try to use it, but REALLY favors it. What can I do? Here are a couple of pics.
Thanks, J Poh
