mine neither gobbles but struts ...doesnt mate or lay eggs but will sit on others eggs...acts like a male and female..I seem to end up with hermaphordites ( he my only turkey one)..I have females that strut..but with him he doesnt fit the bill at all for female

most likely inbreeding from what I have found from researching...I am sure their other factors to for the occasional one..he was not bread here at my place he came from place where mass breeding is done...same with my rabbits that were hermaphrodites...it was interbreeding..oh and had one that was a chicken to...now that was hemaphrodite...strange looking fella...he ended up looking like an ostrich with spurs. But I will keep getting the chickens and such that are to old to sell for cute lil Easter gifts so they dont end up discarded same with rabbits
