Poultish orthotics

 The turkey eggs hatched - we discovered this by going through the field and seeing the hen off , the nest , a couple of active poults, and a couple of bodies. 

 

 

 

 

But that must be par for the course - if all eggs hatched, everytime. the world would be overrun with turkeys. 


 And one of the poults had the splay leg problem we had last time .



The  hair-band last time didn't work, so more drastic measures were called for.

So : 

We brought them in  and gave them a rough surface to walk on.( corrugated cardboard)

And duct-tape is the answer to many problems.  Perhaps its the answer to this ?

So the poult can stand ( and at 1 day
old, this one weighed 40 grams) 



And 2 days later
