Turkey with big bumps on face

[barneylover241]

All my turkey poults have been growing huge bumps on their faces and they only get worse each day. I tried vetericyn but saw little to no improvement and they keep getting worse. What to do?? This one can’t even see

That looks like fowl pox. Do you have mosquitoes out? It will run it's course in 4-6 weeks, and can be contagious to other birds through the lesions. You will have to make sure to keep eating and drinking.

Bad case of fowl pox. There is no cure but treatment with an antibiotic is recommended to fight secondary infections.

The good thing is that they won't get it again.
