Strutting and Displays

[RachelM]

I have only 6 turkeys right now (looking to expand) of a few breeds. Until recently, we though we had 2 males and 4 females. For the past few weeks, every time I look at our Blue Slate tom, he's on display and gobbling. The other known male is also Blue Slate, and although he never puffs up or displays, he's got a long snood.
This morning when we let everyone outside, the normal tom was puffed up, and 2 of what we though were hens were also showing off. 1 is a Spanish Black, and 1 is a Small White. They are considerably smaller than the BS tom, and barely have snoods to speak off. Is this some confused hen behavior?

Hens can and will display. They don't hold it for long periods, but can keep repeating it over and over. I think it's a way of flirting.
