Based on your photo, I would not consider your turkey really big. He has lots more growing to do.

A quick google search found this error - "Adult male turkeys, also known as a gobbler or tom, average 4 feet (122 cm) in height"

This is definitely not true. Measured at the top of the back, I would guess that an adult male turkey would be really big if he was 2' tall. It is too late for me to go measure one tonight.

At 9 weeks old he should be either on a turkey/gamebird grower or could be on an all flock feed. Take him outside and let him eat some grass. Make sure he has access to grit. Keep treats to a minimum. All treats combined should not total more than 10% of his total diet.
