Does this look like blackhead disease?

Our turkey appears fine, is eating and drinking normally and I’ve not seen yellowish poop anywhere (but she roams so it would be difficult to find) however she has black marks on her face. Hoping this is not blackhead disease in the early phases, but I know that’s a very real possibility.

I would also post this on the Turkey Forum for more help from those familiar with turkeys. Is she acting lethargic and lying around? How do her droppings look? Any diarrhea? @castportpony and others are more familiar with turkeys. Here is where to post on the Turkey Forum—click on the blue box “post new thread” :

She’s not lethargic at all and I haven’t found any suspicious poop. Thank you for the advice, I’ll post there as well.
