So i have a question about my female turkey i just got today. She has a bad limp on one leg. The lady i bought her from said she had been attacked by a dog last spring. She seems to be doing well eating and drinking water looks pretty healthy other than a bad limp. My question is will my male be able to mate with her. I was hoping for some poults. Please help.
 
Check to see if she has bumblefoot. The limp could have been from the dog attack, I had a chicken hen that was attacked by a dog and limped for the rest of her life. I don't have a tom but my turkey hens squat for me and usually get down on the ground so I am not sure if they really need the full support of both legs.
@R2elk will probably be able to give a better answer than me.

Thank you so much for the info
