Turkey Poult Leg Issue

[CoastalWolfDen]

Posted on the emergency thread too but thought it might get some attention here:

My Turkey is almost 2 weeks old. Two days ago I noticed that she seemed to be limping slightly. She seemed otherwise fine, so I assumed it was because her feet are giant and she keeps tripping over her own toes. She's been in the brooder or on my lap ever since (she screams if shes not with me) and seemed fine, even though she sleeps a lot...which I thought was normal for a turkey. In retrospect I never saw her walk from when I noticed she was limping to today, and today she is not walking at all. I tried to set her on her feet thinking that might prompt her to move, but she seemed uncomfortable and then immediately sat back down. Now she's on my desk, trembling, and watching me write this. Please help, she has a baby chicken friend and they are totally bonded - I can't lose her!

Video of what she does when I try to set her down. I’m being a bit less gentle than normal so you guys can see what’s happening. I’m very worried about her

I think she had splay leg. Go look at how to treat. I have 3, 3.5 month old turkeys--2 hens, one Tom. My Tom has had a worsening limp over past month. I can't find anyone online who knows anything about turkeys.
