I wake up to see my 3month old rio grande poult (Turkeless, like Herclules) covered in sores. It’s cold right now where I’m at and my other two turkeys are fine

And I just noticed my hens have bare patches of feathers on their necks.

That looks like fowl pox. If your turkey is eating, drinking, and acting normal it will recover on it's own in a few weeks. Watch for signs of secondary infection, especially around the eyes, but I think he'll be okay!
