Nothing I could do would help so I took her to the vet (who happens to have worked with large birds like Eagles). They took X-rays and discovered that both bones in both legs were twisted. They tried all sorts of hobbles, splints etc and nothing would keep the leg twisted back.
I had to make a heartbreaking decision and send sweet Laverne to heaven.
I'm new to chickens and turkeys. I never expected that if get so attached and see so much carachter and individual personalities in those precious girls!!
Thanks for all your help on here!
So sorry, it is actually unusual to see it in both legs, so it must have been very severe. You did the right thing even though it stinks, Mindy
