Why do my turkey poults wings look like this?

[RusticDreamer]

This was the first turkey we hatched out. He/She is about 10 days old. Are the wings suppose to look like this? They just stick out, they never tuck in on his/her sides. Anybody tell me if this is normal?

thanks!

My first batch of poults looked exactly like that. They grow into their feathers in a few weeks and everything will be fine.

Did they grow out of this? It's been a few years since you posted this. Wondering if they grew out of it. I currently have 2 that looks just like this!!

It is a normal stage in their development. They will grow out of it.
