Turkey Leg Problems

[NoSkiveez]

I have a young turkey who hatched sometime around Easter. All has been well till recently. This Turkeys leg now looks like the knee joint is reversed. It completely backwards. Its still walking, eating, drinking, etc and seems fine in all other aspects. No one has claimed to stepping on him and here in a secure coop. Any ideas? Could this be a disease or lack of nutrient?

Just like us humans disabilities and deformations, so does the animal kingdom. It could just be a disformation.

I have a 6 week old turkey that has the same problem. He was fine until a week ago. He is the lone survivor of 2 chick. Anyone know the cause? Can they live for 9 months like this until they get butchering age?
