Young Turkey with bump on eye

[FVF]

Hello all. This is our young turkey hatched approx 2.5 months ago. Anyone have any idea what this black bump next to the eye is? It seems perfectly healthy and once in a while it will close it’s eye. The bump and the eye is relatively dry.

Welcome to BYC! Looks like fowl pox to me. He should be fine in a week or two, just keep an eye on him and make sure he keeps eating and drinking.

Our turkeys got the same and then more bumps appeared. They did go away after a week or so. Just keep them clean watered and fed.
