Kevin, is this the same splayed leg turkey you made a walker for? What is the latest on him?
Yes that's the one. It progressed to slipped tendon. I've tried everything and nothing has worked. I think he's always just going to be a special needs turkey. I've been trying to find the best housing for her so she can easily get to food and water, safe from predators, and my other jerk birds.

Awww.... can he walk ok even if he needs to be kept with a nice and quiet companion?

She can wobble pretty well and is a descent flier. I've discovered she actually LOVES to swim. It much take alot of pressure off her leg. The other turkey seems to be okay with her and hasn't hurt her. I'm just afraid when it comes breeding time they'll need to be separated so he doesn't try to breed her on her bum leg. Someone suggested getting her a silkie hen for companionship since they are pretty docile but I'm not sure.
