We have 3 Toms, raised from chicks with some bantam chickens.
Recently one of them has started sneak attacks from behind on me, they’ve always puffed up and thumped circling us, but have never been aggressive. If we walk over to them and pet them , they will put the feathers down until they get out of reach, then puff up again.
They are very protective of the bantam chickens they were raised with and the Rooster will smack at our shoes then run to the turkeys.
Also, it’s not all the time, maybe 2 times last weekend, and always the same Tom. All 3 chase my Nephew when he comes into the yard, but he tried to defend himself from the Rooster a few times and the Tom’s took it to heart.
This is them with a bantam hen flock mate.
