Sores on neck head and face?? Anyone know what this is?

[ChelseaJo]

Hey guys,

I’ve got a turkey who has these sores on her neck, face and head. It started out just on her neck and I thought it was working it’s way out but she’s got more now. I’ve attached a few stills from a video. We have only 1 turkey but we’ve got a flock of chickens. They don’t sleep together but they are in the same yard. I treated her with ivermectin pour on for mites once a couple weeks ago but didn’t do it again when I noticed she had these sores. She’s had them about the same amount of time (I noticed after giving it to her). I was thinking fowl pox but I honestly don’t know. Any ideas?

Also she’s just about a year old now. We got her before thanksgiving last year as a baby.

When I looked it up it said they could but that’s what I’m going off of so I have no clue really

Could be insects. At least one hatchery had a serious problem with Buffalo gnats a few years ago.

Looks like a pox, they way they are spreading.

Pox has bigger scabby sores.

Pox has bigger scabby sores.

They’re pretty big. They’re now all over her body too and she’s extra aggressive. Quite close to end of my rope with her
