My turkey is limping...any ideas? Do I worry?

[possumhunter]

I picked up my turkeys one week ago (bourbon red & royal palm) and the bourbon red started limping two days ago. The first day was just a very subtle limp. Then yesterday and today it seems like it can hardly bear any weight on it. I've looked at the bottom of the foot and cant see anything on there and I've felt up and down the leg and don't feel anything weird. It got into a bit of a scuttle a couple of days ago with one of my chickens. I wonder if maybe it just pulled a muscle or something? I just want to make sure there isn't some deadly turkey foot disease that I don't know about since I'm new to the turkey world

BTW- I think it is about a year old...and I think its a tom, but not positive

Thanks!
