Paralyzed poult

[bailey'smama]

I have 10 Red Bourbon poults who are all doing great. However, the smallest of the flock has begun to look a little twisted. His head is turned towards his back. He seems to be moving okay (although unable to look forward), but he's only half the size of the others. Should I cull him from the flock or let him be? He doesn't seem to be in any kind of respiratory distress, but turkeys are new to me. Any advice?

Sounds like he may have wry neck. A common occurence in turkeys, especially Bourban Reds. It can be treatable, let me try to get some links for you.
