Air bubble on my turkey's side/wing.

[ChocoboMamma]

Hi guys! I'm freaking out a little, my baby Narragansett turkey (I say baby I think she's around a month old) has a pair of bubbles on her side, where her wing meets her body, one is on the underside of the wing, the other on her side. They're definitely filled with air and they deflate with gentle pressure, but immediately refill upon her chirping. I'm super worried and I don't know of an avian vet in the area so it may be a bit before I can get her to one. Does anyone know what the cause is and how I should best deal with it? I'm worried that when she escaped her outdoor pen the other day she may have injured herself. She does not seem to be in pain, or ill other than the bubble. I wouldn't have noticed it if it weren't for the fact that I give her a gentle rub down all the time to make sure she's doing alright and gaining enough weight. Any advice is appreciated. thanks guys!

Wanted to add a pic in case it would help at all.
The one on the right is actually on her wing, the one on the left is on her side.

I am not familiar with turkeys, but all birds can get subcutaneous emphysema (wind puff or a leaking air sac.) Most are caused by injuries, but some can be caused by infection. If the turkey is having no breathing problems, I would just watch it. But if it is having respiratory distress, then the air sac can be deflated with a small needle. Here are some articles to read:

Her breathing doesn't seem labored, and she's acting her usual self.. like I said if it wasn't for feeling her over to kinda make sure she's gaining enough weight I'd never have noticed. She's not even holding her wing differently than usual.

My turkey has that same thing, but it is on the came place on the same side.
