I suspect that the Achilles tendon may have been displaced
from its normal position as the turkey was kicking off the
eggshell. When this problem is found the same day that it
occurred this tendon is easy to push back into place. But
each day that it is out of place the bird will injure
itself by walking on joint. This causes internal swelling
and external skin damage....and this just makes it very
difficult to get that tendon to return to its natural
groove and stay there.
------But in order to know for certain what is wrong with
YOUR turkey I would need to see photos of its leg
showing the rear of the injured joint.
It is VERY important to repair this right now or sooner
because this problem is certain to get worse if untreated.
