So, um, I unexpectedly ended up with a wild turkey today. He's a huge, handsome tom who has something wrong with one of his legs or feet from getting in a fight with another tom. I currently have him in a little flimsy chicken pen, but it'll do for now. He's really strong and does not like me one bit (as he shouldn't). I may see if I can take him to Dr. Lund tomorrow to get him checked out for fractures and get him splinted if necessary. For now, I'm leaving him alone and letting him de-stress. I don't know what I'll ultimately do with him, but we'll see! Ought to be an interesting bird to rehab. I think he has a good chance of making a full recovery with time. :D Other than his leg or foot or whatever it is preventing him from walking (I haven't gotten a chance to examine him up close yet), he seems very healthy.
