"About 6-7 months old were Wally's peek years
where he matured and looked his best. After age 7 months he started becoming
more raggedy looking as the weeks went on. Where as Wendy the female on the
other hand seemed to be doing and looking very well."
"At 1 year and 4 months old Wally is having a hard time
getting around. His legs are having a hard time holding the weight of his body.
He no longer fluffs up like he used to on a daily basis. Poultry turkeys were
not bred to live very long. Especially the males. Males often grow too large to
hold their own weight."

"These are the legs of a male turkey at only 1 year and 4
months old. These legs can barely hold the weight of this turkey. Turkeys bred
for food are usually eaten by now, however Wally was spared from Thanksgiving
and lived out his life on a family farm as a pet."
