Turkey looking up

I have a turkey poult that would be normal other than the fact that it loves to stare at the ceiling of its pen probably 25 - 50% of the time. It eats and drinks normally is social and doesn't seem to have any neck problems. It just seems super interested in the ceiling. Has anyone ever had this happen? I promise I'm not making this up lol

Welcome to BYC.

I looked up wry neck and looked at some pictures and think you may be right.

What are you feeding?
They need different nutrition that chickens. They need game bird or turkey starter

No, it does not have wry neck. Who knows what imagined or real thing it is seeing on the ceiling? Turkeys can be weirdos. It can be staring at a speck or hair or tiny bug.
