I have Mammoth Bronze Turkeys born 3/22. One peep started limping around a week ago. I kept it separate and watched the peep. It has never gotten better. It hops around ok and gets along well w/the other babies (it didn't like being separated so I put it back). I can't see anything wrong or feel anything wrong (like I would know) but I tried. Any suggestions? Will it just continue to grow? Can I do anything for it's leg? Thanks for any suggestions.

Had a chick like that... thought.. "it's a bantam. We'll give it a shot at life." Well, 3 months old... I had to put it down. the heavier it got the harder it was for the little guy. It got to the point where it couldnt' take but only one step at a time. I'm imagining the turkey will have a even harder time. I hate to say it, but I would put it down now. It only gets harder as time goes.
