Turkey neck bumps

[Maron]

Today I noticed such white tumors (maybe blisters) on my turkey's neck. Does anyone know what it could be and how to possibly treat it? I suspect some fungi or bacteria may have caused it, but I'm not sure.

I suspect it is the remnant of healing from other turkey bites. I would not do anything about it.

Thanks for the answer. The problem is, he didn't have any wounds before... Besides, I have the feeling that there are also smaller nodules, maybe they just grow over time. It looks a bit like very large human pustules. I have never seen anything like this on a bird's skin.

They can also be caused by bug bites.

My Tom had one of those! It went away all on its own.

Looking at the photos on the internet, I'm afraid it might be avian pox...

It's said that this disease is going through on its own, so this could really be it? Maybe I'm a little panicked, but I'd rather be stressed unnecessarily than it would be too late for anything...

That isn't what fowl pox looks like.

I agree.

I don't even know if it's good or bad. So that would at least be a diagnosis, and ignorance is the worst...

Just keep an eye on it, and keep us updated!
