It sounds like she is assuming the breeding position. It is that time of year. I assume that you only have the one hen and don't have a tom so that she can mate.

We gave three turkey hens and no tom and all three of our turkeys do that. They chase us down just to lower their wings and lay down.

Yep, they are assuming the breeding position. With 3 hens, you have enough hens to keep one tom.

Good luck.
