Are these elbow joints?

[MsMoss]

Last night I saw a big bump on one of the turkey's wings, and I noticed one of them had two of the same bumps, and then so did some others, but some of the turkey's bumps are under feathers and some are not and are clearly visible unless you stroke bath the feathers a bit..


Dad says it's just their elbow and it's fine, nothing wrong with the turkey, but I've never noticed this before, and I asked him if it's their elbow then what happened to the feathers that were covering it, and my dad said I don't know, maybe it's always been like that and you just didn't notice, only it's not always been like that. If it's just fine then why are some of the turkey's bumps under feathers and then some aren't , what happened to the feathers?


At first I thought they got to close to a light bulb and got burnt, because they can touch the light bulb, least for now because my dad's gonna get the deeper box out today, and hopefully it'll allow the light bulb to be near them but not so near they can touch it like now.

This is pretty blurry but you can still tell its the same bump.

Great to know, but why do some have feathers covering it an some don't?
