Why does my pet heritage Turkey have yellow spots on his head

[Dawn Smith]

I noticed yellow spots on Turkey's head a few days ago the only poultry vet in the area is still closed due to covid does anyone know what this is?

Could be wound or the start of fowl pox. A wound will improve, pox will worsen.

Thank you for the reply, I really appreciate it. Now my rooster is getting the black spots on his comb so I still am not sure about the Turkey but I am going to just treat everyone for the pox .

There's really no treatment for pox. It's a virus transmitted by mosquitoes and direct contact with the lesions. It generally runs it course in 4-6 weeks, and birds are generally immune to it afterwards.
