Hey this is what mine looks like - so you think that my poult is ok? its only happening one one side not the other.

How are they doing? My baby turkeys are doing the same thing with there wings.

I wouldn't worry about it. One of my hens had an angel wing when she was fully feathered but a teenager, and she grew out of it. If you are concerned after awhile though you could always get some vet wrap and just lightly wrap them into place for a couple of days. You shouldn't need to, though.

Turkeys can get angel wing what you do to correct it is take some small strips of tape and tape them aligned with the other feathers for a few days then take the tape off and it should be corrected if not retape for a few more days

Those of us that have been raising turkeys for a long time do not tape up turkey wings. It is normal and they grow out of it.

As per @Bo Garrett

"Angel wing is a condition specific to waterfowl, turkeys and chickens have what is called a slipped wing"

No I have never done the taping either but some people just want to know how to fix it if possible. Tape is mean and it rips out the needed feathers when taking it off just thought I would post how to correct it and let others decide if they want to

A lot of turkey poults I have had have had goofy wings like that in the beginning and every single one has grown out of it. They're goofy buggers with body's growing faster than they can support haha. The wing will be fine. Angelwing is a waterfowl thing.
