I have a young male mixed turkey his father is a bronze mother is an eastern wild. I am having the worst time taming him. And I say him as a two day old he was strutting and trying to gobble.
He is now over a month old and is attacking chickens as he was the only turkey poult to hatch and my others are three months and a year old.

He hisses and bites and attacks my handicapped chicken.
Ive handled him from day one and this just started about two weeks ago. I need help before he hurts someone.
 
Some are just hatched aggressive. I would separate him from your chickens before he kills them, something I have seen happen, put him with the turkeys. You don't want a hand tamed aggressive Tom, that's a nightmare. When he's big enough I would butcher. My experiences with different breed has been the bronze are more aggressive than other colors.
