I have moved my baby turkeys into their new cage in the coop. They are going on 2 weeks old. One has started holding it head to the side and walking backwards in a circle. I have look it over and find no injury of any kind that can be seen. It is a chocolate turkey and I knew it was tiny when we got it and three others. Is there something I can do to help it, fix it or put it out of its misery? I would love help if anyone knows whats going on with my little baby.
 
I have a chicken doing almost the same thing... I can't figure out if it's wry neck or New Castle disease (my husband thinks it's NC I think it's wry neck) Hopefully if someone answers your post, I'll have an answer as well... good luck!!
 
Really old thread, this is what is happening to me right now. Abnormally tiny poult, head held to one side, running backwards in circles. Eats and drinks just fine, will it get the others sick? Everyone else is doing fine. All the same age and yet the others are 2x-3x larger than the little white one.
