Subject: Young Turkey new feathers

I recently bought a couple chicks and a couple turkeys at my nearby farm store. One bronze and one white turkey. I have had them about 2 weeks. They are getting their feathers pretty quickly..However the problem is one of the Bronze's legs has turned completely backwards. This is hindering him to stand properly. I had the same problem with turkeys that I purchased before (several years ago). They ended up being about 4 months old and eventualy they lost the use of their legs. It wasn't because they were overfed or overweight and I thought perhaps our pony had stompped them, I just wasn't sure. I ended up putting them out of their misery, but I dont know what happened or what the problem was. The 2 young turkeys I have now are under a heat lamp and can not get outside as yet, but what am I doing wrong? Perhaps feeding chick food is a problem? Any help appreciated.
With best regards,
Denise
