Help! Bowed leg turkey

[applebutter14]

Chick starter doesn't have enough of the vitamins and minerals that poults need, like niacin, so I suggest you get some 27-30% protein *starter* that is labeled for turkeys or gamebirds.

then start researching "slipped tendon", perosis, and niacin deficiencies in turkeys. Did you see the picures here:

Yes, the pictures looked very nice, unfortunately our vet isnt open till Monday. We bought some food that is high in niacin and just gave it to them

Is it high in protein too? It's not just niacin they need, they also need more thiamine. If you can take it to a vet on Monday, just do you best to keep him quiet and mak sure you keep him on something soft, like a towel.

Yes, the liver has protein in it, too. I brought him and his friend inside and they are in a carrier with bedding inside and I mixed the liver with their feed. They started to eat it once they settled in.

What are you feeding? Most leg problems in turkey poults is from a deficiency. Getting them on the correct ration that is fresh may help.
