    One of my 8week old Turkey poult's was fine one day and looked like this. Is this the splay leg that I hear about or is it broken? Is he salvageable? I hate to have to cull him so young. Should I splint it or tape the legs together? I don't think nutrition is the issue. They are getting a 23%...

    Splint, amputation, nature or euthanasia? (Photos)

    Hey y’all. My poor little olive egger pullet got taken by a fox, but he was interrupted in the act and dropped her. Although she has no visible wounds (blood, puncture), she has completely lost the use of one leg. This happened about 4 days ago. I thought for sure that she wouldn’t make it. Her...

    Stiff leg?

    Okay it seems like there is lots of leg injuries going around, but I've yet to see one like hers. It started maybe a week or two ago. Possibly from a overly excited young roo.
