I have a 5 month old Blue Slate with swollen face on both sides. Other 2 turkeys are fine. This guy acts normal, runs around with other 2, eating and drinking fine. I'm not sure what face issue could be. We only have 1 other boy and a girl and they all get along. I have not seen any fighting so highly doubt this is an injury. I've looked at it and it's smooth with no particular area looking like it's a bite or anything. I did buy some Tylan but have not started yet in fear this might not be an infection and I don't want to hurt him by treating with it if not necessary. Thoughts? Sinus blockage or something else? I have not noticed sneezing or coughing and nose area looks dry, like it's not runny. I'm lost

For the health of your hen, you need to only have one tom. Next spring she will be likely to get injured if you keep the 3 of them together.
We are working thru that. Last year someone stole our Tom 3 days before Thanksgiving. So we need one as a backup. Right now they are ok and hen runs the pack. But if I see issues I have an area to separate them.
