I have two broad breasted white turkeys. One for sure is a Tom but not sure on the other. The one in question is somewhat submissive to the Tom but I have seen it strut and gobble. So today we noticed one of turkeys biting and holding onto the others neck. At closer look there is a huge missing patch of feathers on the neck of the turkey. It appears the other one is pecking or biting there. Is this normal or something 2 males do? These two have been together from day 1.

TYIA for any advice or suggestions on what to do here.
 
looking closer there are no flesh wounds. at this point the tom is biting the other one and plucking out the feathers by the neck
