    Baby Turkey with damaged toe?

    Ok, this lil guy is about a week old and he seems great no problems at all, but his toe tip is dark grey and looks dead. He doesn’t seem in pain, but It’s not just coloration. I think he had it since hatch, but I just thought it was natural color then, seeing as he has black and pink legs.
