Gosh, it's been a few days and I'm sorry nobody responded. What's going on with them now? Separation for a few days is what I'd have suggested.

I don't have turkeys but I do have a hen that apparently thinks she's a rooster because she does that. Even mounts and pulls out their head feathers like a rooster would. I just let it go as it's not often, just shocking.

This was also posted in another thread where advice to let them work it out on their own was given.

Turkeys are not like chickens. The more you interfere in their pecking order squabbles, the longer it takes them to get things settled.

It is extremely rare for turkeys to cause serious damage to each other during these pecking order fights.
