Turkeys grow fast and the heavy breeds of turkey can
have problems from this. There could be injury to the
hock joint or (more likely) twisting of the tibia.
The tibia is the bone called "drumstick" at Kentucky
Fried Chicken.
I have treated twisted tibia in chicks and pea chicks
with some of them getting a complete cure. The older amd
larger a bird is the harder it is to treat.
I suggest taking a photo or two of the poult's legs
viewed from the rear. And hold it on its back to take
photo of leg joints. Then email photos to me or put
photos on website such as villagephotos.com or
photobucket and put the link here.
