My bodyguards

[Patriot1672]

I had bought turkey eggs online about a year and a half ago, ended up hatching 4(3 Toms/ 1 Hen). The toms seem to move around in a little herd together, always having their tails flared in every direction. However when I walk directly away from them, one particular Tom starts running at me with its head down. Before it can ever get to me the other two toms always stop it and flog it until it turns away from me. I just thought that was strange. Anyone else witness something like this?

It's probably one of the lowest dominant toms getting reprimanded for doing something dominant out of line, My tom had a brother and his brother would try to attack my mom, and my tom would block him and attack him back. However, the moment his brother was gone, he turned on my mom too. I feel like it has something to do with pecking order business. My hens will do it in response to lower ranked hens getting mad at me as well.
