    Turkey poult with weak legs.

    Hey all. I have a turkey poult that hatched Saturday or Sunday. He occasionally gets stuck on his back and kicks the air and can't get up. I have them on medicated chick feed. He also doesn't walk as much as his sibling, but he still walks a lot. Is this something to worry about? Thanks! TCH

    Sudden onset of leg weakness

    I brought home 4 silkie chicks on Friday. Aside from the typical adjustment phase, all were active, eating, drinking, and thriving. This morning (Monday) I went to the brooder to see one of the chicks on its side. I assumed it had been knocked over or fell off the stuffed animal in the brooder...

    Young Rooster Too Heavy for His Own Legs

    I have a young rooster, about 18 weeks old. He came from an unknown source at 5 weeks old, so I know nothing about breed or his history. (I was sold a hen that turned out to be a rooster!). I haven't kept a rooster before. He grew extremely quickly and is now HUGE and pretty heavy. The problem...

    Weak legs. Polish pullet.

    I have a polish pullet whose legs seem to keep getting a little weaker. She walks funny and I've always attributed it to the fact that she can't see (and maybe that does have something to do with it), but she stumbles and falls a lot and has a hard time standing for long periods of time. She...
