Turkey mating by himself & turkeys vs chickens

[Mimi13]

Yes the toms do this normally once breeding season starts slowing down. It is turkey masturbation. It is a guy thing. You will not see any hens doing it.

Thank you. I figured that’s what it had to be. This dude has turned it into something funny to watch, complete with his own “dancing music.” Surely to goodness he actually knows what the Tom is really doing.

Lolz. Yes, that him going through the motions of breeding.

Funny this dude is making money off his poor Tom at such a vulnerable time in his life!

You never know. Every year, the question of what is my hen doing comes up in reference to their pet turkey hen assuming the breeding position for them. Some post about their hen's wanting to be petted when what they really want is to get bred.

Yep, I guess the same thing with some of my chicken hens constantly squatting for me.
