So as you may be able to see my camera shy turkey son has a rather large lump on his right cheek. Roughly half dollar sized. He first got it when we brought him home and had him in our chain link pen to meet our resident young Jake. We originally thought he had rubbed his whole face and neck trYing to talk to our other turkey through the fence. Side note: we were also told he was a she, so it made sense to let them meet slowly. I was scared for him/her since our standing Jake was very much reaching adulthood and he/she our new bird was half his size! It seemed to clear up, we thought. Several weeks or so later I saw it had developed into what you hopefully can see now. I tried hot poultices several times a day with no progress. In desperation I carefully prepped it and tried a needle in hopes of aspirating something from it, bUT nothing came out. It is not hard, in fact fluctuent enough that I was shocked it didn't explode when I pierced it. I'm out of ideas and my next concern is how to get a now much larger bird safely to the vet. I don't have enough training yet to feel comfortable doing anything else to him.
