Turkey talk

[Iconmama4]

Have a 3 week old baby turkey (Royal Palm) with a swollen foot. It will walk at limited time on the foot, but most of the time stands flamingo style. It is smaller then the other one we have as well, worried it is fighting something that is limiting it growth as well.
What to do????

The Turkey forum is likely the best place to ask these questions. I have suggested that you thread is moved. If it is not, then here’s the link - https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/turkeys.20/

Welcome to BYC!
Can you take it to a vet? If not, can you post pictures of it's feet and legs?

Turkeys need much higher protien than chicks and ducks. If you can't get turkey starter, gamebird starter will work. You can also supplement them with canned tuna (in water) or canned salmon.
