@Wyorp Rock @Eggcessive any idea on a treatment for him?

Sorry, but I am not experienced with turkeys. Where do you live? Has it been freezing weather recently?

 

[casportpony]

I think I would pick at them and see what's inside them. If they are infected they will be full of hard yellow pus.

@casportpony If it comes off like a scab should she expect to see hardened kernels of infection like in bumble foot and just pack it with antibiotic ointment without pain reliever? I have very little experience with turkeys but @Mistwood99 is one of my awesome real life friends so I directed her here to BYC with all of the extremely knowledgeable people here. <3 Thank you!
