Do girl turkeys ever display?

[exop]

The title says it all. Do girl turkeys ever display?

Some of my females get quite exercised sometimes, just like the males, about some chicken or other they dislike. They seem to particularly hate White Crested Black Polish. They will stand there with their necks extended toward the unfortunate chicken, gibbering and flushed red and blue in the face.

Seeing their faces change color just like the boys makes me wonder if they have it in them to puff up and strut as well. Any thoughts?

Do you have any toms. Some girl turkeys will strut if there isnt a male.

Poor polishes I have one as you can see in my avatar just how you described.

Also, once my broody hen hatched out her eggs, she displayed and showed off her new poults.

My hens display both to ward other birds away from their very young poults and when there is someone in the yard they don't like. They look exactly like the toms, except no snood!

hens will sometimes strut if they are in the mood to..

Mine strut when they are about to attack my white rooster. That's the signal that he better run.

Mine do when they are wanting to fight with a new bird. But not very often.

An interesting exchange between our hens:

Slate hen put her daughter in her place and order was maintained.
Display in hens seems limited to need, not extended by `vanity'.
