Turkey angel wings

[Birdlady_508]

I got 15 turkeys in the mail two days ago for me and other members in my 4-H club for a show in may. 5 of them appear to have angel wings. Is there a way to fix this? They are about 4-6 days old. Thank you in advance!!

Doesn’t look like Angel wing, just first feathers growing in…

Welcome to BYC!

Angel wing doesn't happen in turkeys. That's a waterfowl thing, mostly ducks as far as I know. I agree with the first poster those are just feathers coming in and should bot effect show condition.

What are you feeding? Are you using a turkey starter feed with 28-30% protein? Do you know what variety (or breed) they are?

Cute babies!
