Turkey hen unable to stand

[meffma]

Please help...my bourbon hen hatched 9 babies two days ago. Babies are fine, but mom appears to be unable to bear any weight on her left leg. I guess it could just be from sitting on the nest for a month, but I'm wondering if there is anything I can do for her? This is my first time as a bird grandmother!

I think it's just from sitting on the nest all that time. My chicken did that and she eventually was able to walk again.

Thank you! That makes me feel better. I love my turks, and I didn't want to let her down.
