Mosquito Bites

As it says I have a couple bad mosquito bites on my turkeys.

To be honest I had no idea it was such a problem for the poor birds. I feel guilty, but I came from Michigan, and theres a plenty of wild turkeys and mosquitos, so I never thought it would be a problem. I gave some medication, and have done what I could about mosquito control.

 

Still, does anyone have any home remidies for this?

Nope nothing of the sort, just puffy really puffy.

Not oozing, no puss, no lazy activity (until it became hard to eat greens, she's perky again now that shes got a belly of pellets & chick starter) no strange runny droppings. Just a ballon on the side of her head.
