Wing issue?

[Donette]

I have 3 turkey babies at one week old. Two darker babies and one significantly lighter in color. The lighter one has this weird way of hanging the bottom parts of her wings. It’s like this all the time, whereas the other two keep their wings closer to their bodies. Is something wrong with the lighter one? New to turkeys.

Normal they will grow out of it

Adding: I’ve posted pics of all three for comparison.

It is normal. At least one person made the claim that all of his that started like this turned out to be toms. You may want to make sure you can identify this one later to see what sex it is.

Thanks! It worried me bc it’s just the one bird. First time with turkeys. Don’t even know what kind they are. I was given the eggs from a friend who said they are “just normal turkeys” lol

I think that those people refer to early and late feathering but this only works if you set up the groups properly and that won't be the case in a backyard setting.
