How clumsy are turkey poults supposed to be?

[melinda342]

I have a pair of poults less than a week old. One of which cant walk more than a couple steps without falling over. He sits a lot, especially while eating. This isnt normal, is it? He is eating and drinking just fine and seems to be doing ok otherwise. The other can walk a lot better. Thanks for your help.

Mine were SUPER non coordinated. Their feet were so big that that he would hit it on the back of the other one, landing on his face. I know that this is horrible, but honestly, it was hilarious.
