Help with polk turkey that can’t walk!!

[Needsomehelpplease]

Hello, I recently got two turkeys (as my first birds. My first turkey is doing very well, getting large, and has zero health concerns. My other however has started to get a swollen knee (can’t remember what it’s called). I didn’t think much at first but now it’s gotten very large rather quickly and is hard to the touch. It all feels like bone. Originally reading around I thought it was a slipped tendon. I’ve tried everything I could however to fix that but to no prevail. Now my turkey barely walks and just wobbles to food and water. Please any advice would be great! Thank you.

It's generally caused by a vitamin deficiency, called perosis, or slipped tendon. Generally they need to be culled as it doesn't usually improve, especially when it's so advanced unfortunately.
