Hello! This is my first time keeping turkeys so I'm sorry if this seems dumb. Today when I was petting my turkey, Junebug, i noticed this hard raised bump right underneath neck. It's hard, not soft like her neck thingies. It almost seems as if something is impacted? It's also purple compared to red/pink. Touching it doesn't seem to hurt her though.

Welcome to the forum @Junebug ! I'm no turkey expert but my untrained eye doesn't see anything there that looks immediately concerning. How's she behaving? Eating sleeping pooping active like normal?

Thank you! And yes, im not immediately concerned but I'm scared it might be an impacted feather? However, there are little feathers growing out of it. It's just really hard and has grown in size since I last took note of it. Otherwise, she's acting completely normal. She didn't show any outward signs of pain when I pressed on it either.
