What’s wrong with my Royal Palm?!

I get that, I’ve had turkeys before. But I doubt this is due to her diet. Her behavior started shortly after I got her. I’ve combed over her and came up with no physical problems.

I am not implying that the feed caused the problem. The most likely causes of how she is walking is either an inner ear infection impairing her balance or previous hip injuries most likely due to a bad breeding tom. Once the breeding injuries are healed outwardly the internal injuries can last a lifetime.

Definitely see if it's a mating injury. My tom injured one of my hens a couple weeks ago and there was no external injury, just feathers on the ground (bypassing her saddle), but she walked a lot like this. Slumped. Wings out. Looked like she couldn't balance. She would jerk every now and then. It was almost like she had a pinched nerve in her back. We brought her in and she fully healed after a couple of days of rest.
