Possible dislocated turkey leg

[Kdrake19]

Help I grabbed this guy at the feed store because of his leg. Is it fixable. It looks to be dislocated.

Hello did you mean post something?

 

[Chichin Mama]

Yes, I tagged some people that might be able to help you.

Unfortunately, I am not experienced when it comes to dislocated legs, although it might be a slipped tendon or splay leg.

That is what I also thought put a splint on it and the poor thing was non stop churping like in pain. He couldn't stand with it and would flop in his water.

Aww, that doesn't sound good! I'm sorry I can't be of more help. Hopefully some others can get on here and help you.

Sorry you didn't get a response. How is your turkey doing?

 

[Kdrake19]

The chick didn't make it. I could not get home to eat.

Oh no! I'm sorry.

I had hatched a turkey a few days ago that had this also. At first I thought splay leg or slipped tendon. When I examined his leg thoroughly, the tendon was fine, but higher up on his leg the joint was completely out. It was either dislocated or a deformity, so we had to cull it
