Much too young to tell. Unless it starts displaying young you generally can't tell the sex until 3-4 months of age.

It's too soon to tell.

Sign of dominance. This can be done by either a male or a female. Adult hens can and do display just like adult toms.

I've personally only seen males display at a very young age. It was adorable, and very quick.

@OneMountainAcres has pics of a hen displaying at a very young age.

Dominant turkeys do that. I got a trio of young BBBs that one hen was the dominant of all three until they were around 6 months old. At that time the tom challenged her. They fought all day long for three days before he finally convinced her that he was the boss.

I would have to search through my pictures later but I have a hen named Princess that was displaying at one day old. She displayed a lot as a baby and I was certain she was a he.... nope, they all can and will display when young. Here she is from a week or so ago. She doesn't do it often anymore but she was frustrated with the toms lol
