    My hen is so funny…

    My female Eastern turkey always acts like a male. Here is a wild Osceola and she literally did this for an hour with him. I was hoping she was going to let him mate, but no success! Anyone have an idea of why she is doing this? I don’t think she was trying to dominate him. Video attached.
