I noticed a few spots on my turkeys neck today. Anyone know what it is if anything?

How long have they been there? Are they getting bigger? Does the turkey act sick in any way?

I just noticed them today, The turkey is acting fine

Doesn't look like anything to worry about, a small wound, now if it gets more than it's something.

It has one on each side. If it gets worse , what do you think it could be? Black head or pox?

I have not had blackhead, I think that's a darkening of the whole head and they act sick, and droopy, it could be dry pox, a few of mine got it this year, some a little, others didn't look so good, it runs it coarse in a few weeks, they pick it up from wild birds, and there's no treatment, and it usually isn't fatal. All of mine have recovered except the Tom we were going to butcher anyways, so we took the opportunity to do so.
