My broad breasted white turkey who had been raised with the geese had been seriously injured by them. I don't know what they did, but I heard the squawk from him while I was in the chicken pen. I put him in with the ducks because they're weenies, but he's not really standing after a week. He eats, drinks and basically lolls around in the pen. He won't put much weight on one leg but when I check it out, it seems okay

, but obviously, it's not.

He's about 20 weeks old. I'm thinking freezer camp if he doesn't improve. What do you think?

I could send him to the butcher along with two roos. Will this be enough meat for Thanksgiving? He seems sizable.
