A four month old turkey is nearly a mature turkey. You could start feeding him a quality all flock feed at this stage.

I have no idea what you mean by him having a dirty "bump".

All flock is not specifically for turkeys. In the U.S. it is typically a 20% protein feed that is available for chickens and other poultry. You did not say what variety of turkey that you have. If it is a heritage type turkey it should be fine, if it is a broad breasted variety then exercise and free range are the best that you can do for it to keep it healthy.

Any quality poultry feed that is at least 16% protein and is not a layer feed should be fine as long as your turkey is a male. If it is a hen then I would use a layer feed.
