I got another unusual chick

most likely either twins or birth defects.
are these out of your flock or you getting them from somewhere?
I would be worried if both hatches you saw this stuff, there is a section on breeding stock and questions there, as many things can cause birth defects. Such as disease, bad genetics, nutritional deficiency in the flock. But don't know enough about this to help run down the issue if it's from your flock, if your buying the eggs and hatching them from same place I would mention this to them and find some place else to get eggs from. I've seen a lot of crazy ones that got shipped to the local farm store by breeders that just don't care or even look at what they are hatching.

The turkey is from someone who was selling eggs the chick was from one of mine.
 
wow!! I would have loved to see them alive. I know that it may be cruel but it would be so cool to see what they would have looked like at hatching and full grown stages
The turkey actually was on hatch day I had no idea anything was wrong until it was half way out, it just stopped moving when it got to that point. AIl though I was concerned because the turkey was quite a bit smaller then the others when I canceled it but nothing like this crossed my mind.
