Gimpy Leg

[Softanchor]

I have a turkey poult with a gimpy leg. It limps on it. It is a week old. What would you suggest?

Need more information, but have you checked for injury to the bottom of the foot, or anywhere on the leg? Are the toes straight and pointing forward?

No injuries visible. Toes are straight. See pictures.

Hmm. I don’t ’see’ anything that would suggest any issues. Hopefully, the bird will get better. Sometimes they can jump around and injure themselves. Without any visual cues, I just don’t know. Hopefully, someone else can help out.

Has this bird done this since you first got it, or did this come on later. I realize it’s only a week and a half old.

Thank you for your insight and time. I appreciate you.
