Wow. For only three weeks of age the toms are definitely posturing. N I thought there were only two. But all 6 seem to be doing it tonight.

Hens can and do display and strut in the same manners that toms do.

Displaying at 3 weeks old is not a positive sign that a poult is a tom. Other members have had female poults display as early as several days. At that age it is more about dominance than it is about which sex they are.
