Hen hides when hearing Tom gobble

[budgy]

I went on Youtube and played a clip of Toms gobbling. The 3-month-old hen ran away from me and hid between the hay stacks. She is very affectionate and sleeps on my right shoulder and lap. I'm afraid I have frightened her from humans.

Are they scared of Toms at this age?

maybe just the fact that sound was sudden or unknown and might have spooked her kinda like the first time my dove heard a mourning dove she freaked out and tried to get away from the source of the noise hope this helps

has she ever heard a tom before?

THank you for your reply. Interesting you have a dove!! She is strictly human-raised; never seen a turkey in her life... just 2 meat chickens.
