Howdy back in may i purchased 15 rir pullets, 4 turkeys 2bbb and 2 bbw, and 6 ducks 3 pekins and 3 welsh harliquins. I did lose one turkey and one duck but since then all are nice and healthy. After thinking about it for awhile i finally ordered some meaties cornish cross i went and picked them up on friday all were doing good until this morning i went out to the brooder and one cant walk. There only 5 days old is there anything i can do. Glad to finally be a member and cant wait to learn more and maybe be able to help others out.

Greetings from Kansas, redneck4life27, and

! Glad you joined us. Not sure what can be done with the Cornish Cross....that variety has been engineered to be a super fast grower. The down side to that is that they often come with leg problems. You might consider posting your question on the Emergencies/Injuries/Diseases forum for help. Best of luck to you!
