Please help. Turkey covered entirely in big patches of crusty stuff

[LAChickens]

I recently rescued a turkey hen from an abandoned farm in So. California and she's an absolute mess. Her entire body is covered with crusty patches. I attached a couple of photos (I hope) but she's covered including her legs, chest, ear openings, and at the base of all her feathers. Could this be mites gone wild? Or something else. She's also underweight and possibly molting. Best way to treat her? Please help. TIA

I am not certain about what is going on with her, but as a start I would treat her with Ivermectin.

@R2elk any ideas ?

The head lesions look like fowl pox.

I don’t know if it’s fowl pox but don’t rule it out. Keep her in strict quarantine. I would glove when handling her. Here is a link with some info: https://www.merckvetmanual.com/poultry/fowlpox/fowlpox-in-chickens-and-turkeys

It might help to have her see a vet and get a hands on diagnosis.
