Hi, sorry to hear of your one poult having trouble. I see you've posted on the ER forum, hope things will be well soon.

Hi and welcome to BYC We're so happy you've decided to join us

Pictures would help. Young polts are notorious for self injury.

Hi there yall! New member here, New to poult raisin' as well. Got 2 baby turkey today and fell in love instantly. One is perfectly fine, one WAS perfectly fine. Until about an hour or so ago she had walked around fine now she won't drop her right leg. It looks swollen as does the foot, and idk why. I've scared myself by reading different stories online and now I'm scared. Idk how to identify certain things like Mycoplasma, or displaced tendon. I just want to do the correct thing and help her. We can take her back and swap for a uninjured poult but that's not what we want. Me, my husband, and our 3 girls are very fond of her specifically and just wanna help her. If pictures are needed/wanted let me know!
Please help!

How is your little doing now, sounds like your poult was injured somehow but that's just an assumption from what you stated. Can you take a pic and give some more info?

Here's a few pictures of her/his hock that's injured we noticed today there's bruising and maybe an external injury? Can't tell if it's like that because of the injury or if it is the injury, if that makes any sense at all.
