Hi Daryl:
The cracked corn should be mixed with Poultry Layer Pellets. The turkey crumbles/game feed may be too high in protein. High protein content in the diet of swans can increase the possibility of "angel wing", also known as reverse wing, slipped wing etc. This condition causes the wing to slip out of joint and the birds cannot fly as well as the wing looks deformed.
