We got about 15 Poults/Baby Turkeys last Thursday, we had one I thought was acting a bit different when we were taking it out of the shipping box it was standing on its shank in the corner. We have been watching over it and realized it had been walking worse and worse every day for the past 3 days, this poult has been falling over and wasn't walking more like army crawling with its shank. Today I decided to take a look, I noticed every day I have picked it up its outer toe was inwards and under the middle toe, we think it is either broken or dislocated. what do you guys think?

A better picture would help identify the issue.

It is possible the poult was born with crooked toes. I have some like that, they are meat chicks I hatched so I know they were born that way. Why? I don't know.

Though, the poult acting the way it is makes it seem like she may be injured.
