Turkey swelling on skull- fluid filled?

[untamedspiritnsoul]

We've got a BBB turkey at the farm I work at, about 4 months old, and the top of its head, just around the skull, looks as though it's filled with fluid, it wobbles a little when the bird walks around. I can get a pic tomorrow but thought I'd see if anyone had seen this before. It is not swollen head syndrome, as it's just above the skull, like it's wearing a helmet- the face looks normal. Turkey acts perfectly normal, it is a bit smaller than most of the others though. Any thoughts?

Wow! 7 years

Update with Graphic photos below! (I'm not seeing where to edit the title of the post.. sorry!)

We butchered the turkeys and I thought I'd post what was in there in case anyone was interested, it turned out to be a relatively hard fat deposit in the skull

since your original post and you just answered a very puzzling struggle I've had with one of my turkeys for like 6 months now!

Has anyone out there ever gotten something like this on their bird? My Nargansett hen has one and she is a pet. She acts perfectly fine, laying (very broody), beautiful bird other than the "helmet" on her head! Is there anything that can be done to get rid of it?
