Turkeys "strutting" at 4 days old?

[Hazelandtoads]

New to turkeys! Old chicken hand . . .
I hatched out Midget whites--oh, goodness are these things cute! I've noticed they strut already--which I find very, very amusing! Is this related to sex? Or do hen turkeys strut too?

Thanks!

At that age it is not unusual for precocious toms to strut. There have been reports that female poults can also strut.

Adult hens can and do strut under the right circumstances.

I am sure people will want to see pics of your strutting poults.
