Turkey Poult With Spraddle

[Sumatra503]

I just got 3 free poults and one has spraddle. I think they are like a week old, but no one else knew the age and i don't know turkeys.

It has gotten better a little just in the 2 hours i've had them. They were on newspaper and the rest had died before I got them from the place they were.

I know That it is easy to treat in chickens and I've done so many time, but is it the same with turkeys.

I dont see any reason why it isnt the same as chickens. Here's a link to help you out with spaddle leg in chickens, it should apply to poults as well. See post #2 and go to the link:

I know how to fix it in chickens, but turkeys grow a bit differently and sometimes things are different between species.

I've never owned turkey's, sorry I couldnt help. It might be best to post in the Turkey forum:

i posted there too and no one has replied.

I taped its legs with vet wrap and it seems straighter.
