Somewhat aggressive Tom, worries for the future!

And good news on the behavior, we’ve gotten Winnie to settle down a lot more as far as aggression is concerned! Standing our ground when she gets feisty, etc, seems to have helped

You are fortunate she is a hen. The only cure for an aggressive tom is to invite him to dinner as the guest of honor.

Turkeys are very social birds and should not be raised alone.

Found out, after a bit, that she is indeed a he! Snood is super long now, and retracts into a cone shape, + has a fully bald head. However, he is now not aggressive at all, so I think it was just some teenage angst. Planning on getting him some hens in the near future, saving up for them.
