    What the hell did we do to the turkeys to make them grow to that size in two months? (I probably don’t want to know.)

      Idk about turkeys but broiler hens (hens bred for slaughter) frequently grow so fast their bones don’t get strong enough to support their own weight.

      It is horrifying.

      Pretty sure most birds grow to full size in a few months, so turkeys just grow to their human modified bodies in the same time period they would have grown to their natural size.
