I have 3 bronze turkeys, they are a little under 3 weeks and one of them is already displaying too the other turkeys, chickens, ducks, and even rabbits. He also tried to fight with the ducks. Do hens do this or does it mean that this one is a tom? He/she is also the biggest out of the 3.

There have been reports of young hens displaying but the only poults that I have had display (as early as 3 days old) have turned out to be toms. Only precocious poults will display so this in no way means anything about the sex of those that are not displaying.
 
Alright, so this one is probably a tom? I hope the other 2 are hens if this one is a tom. Thanks for all the help R2elk, you answer almost every question I have about these guys :D
