Is there something wrong with my new turkey?

[chickpics]

So, we were just "gifted" a turkey, it was free, and no information came with her, so we named her Gravy and we're excited to learn about turkeys.

I have chickens and sheep, so this is my first turkey experience. Any ideas of her breed? Does her face look normal? If it were a chicken, I would think it was really dry and overly warty. (Is that what fowl pox looks like on a turkey?) Her eye lids are very pronounced and when she pecked at her feed, she missed half the time. I just want to know what it is that I don't know, so I can help her if there is something wrong.

I should note, that her legs look great, healthy, in my opinion, as if they were healthy chicken legs. Again, my experience is limited to chickens.

The breed is Turkey. She appears to be a Broad Breasted Bronze hen. Her posture and her head indicate that she is in some kind of discomfort.

I think you have a sick turkey and that you should do a proper quarantine to make sure that you don't introduce a disease to your own flock. The color of her head is concerning.

Perhaps @casportpony can advise on a testing and treatment plan.

Thank you R2elk, it's great to at least know her breed. She moving slowly, but she was making some cute purring sounds when I was observing her and making sure she was eating and drinking. Reminds me of when my chickens seems happy, I'm hoping at least she's in good spirits.
Now to wait for suggestions, I've put terramycin in her eyes just to keep whatever it might be off of her eyes. I'm just not sure what else I could do without making things worse.
