My turkey poult has a big bump right behind her eye. She also has a small forming bump on the top of her head. Her beak is really weird and the side of her beak where the bump is seems to cave in. The bump seems hard. I believe she is still eating and drinking good though. She acts completely normal but is constantly scratching it and shaking her head around. Her feathers on her head and the bump seem wet because we put medicine on it. Its Silver Gel and it's supposed to promote natural healing. But I don't think it's helping much. Could you please tell me what it is?

It sounds like your turkey either got stung by bees, or else it has fowl pox. Both are treatable and there are good threads on them elsewhere on the forum.

Best of luck. I hope it gets better soon.
