Help! Turkey sitting with legs splayed out in front and it can’t balance/walk well. The feet curl and I’ve seen it hobble.

It was a but wet last night, and he does roost high, so he could have slipped, but I don’t know what to do. I’ve placed him somewhere dry for right now.
 
What are you feeding him? Do you have others who could have hurt him? I would give him some Poultry vitamins such as this one, below, or a half of a human B complex tablet crushed in some food daily.

It would be good to confine him to a wire dog crate or pen with dry bedding and food/water close to him. A sling might be helpful if he would tolerate it. I don’t have any experience with turkeys, but maybe others will chime in with advice. Post on the turkey forum, under Forums above.
