We have 9 6 week old white holland turkeys. All of them have been growing great and doing well and were just moved to an outside pen, however, one of them is about half the size of the others. It is eating just fine, it's poo is normal, it's active, etc ... but it's small. I know in our chickens we've had different sized birds while they were chicks and they've all grown up to be about the same size as adults but this is our first time with turkey poults. It just seems odd to us that only one of them is so much smaller. Should I be worried that something is wrong with it? or is it just normal variation? They were fed 24% feed for the first four weeks and now they are on 20%. They've also gotten a few greens this week ... lettuce, grass.
