they are amazing once the chickens start doing that stretch when i've dealt with a slipped tendon it usually stays in place, just keep up on it and the vitamins they need. and make sure if it is going to rain they are not going to be standing out in it as they can drown themselves looking up at the rain from what my grandpa said

This is an old wives tale and is not true.

Old Husbands too....or just Old Farts/Fools Tale!

Sorry bad attempt at humor apparently, must either need more coffee or a nap

We are attempting to correct through splint, therapy and the water now has added vitamins.

Which vitamins?
You left the ACV out, correct?

 

[Alluundra]

@aart correct right now it's only the b vitamin.

 

[Alluundra]

Haha you all are funny. Coffee and nap are always needed imo. As of now the chicks stay in the brooder in the garage and get supervised excursions outside.

@aart correct right now it's only the b vitamin.

Might want to give more specific info on the vits being used....for those who know about that.

Not an issue I've ever had with turkeys. They will, however, come up with a myriad of other interesting and unusual ways to kill themselves.
