Hi, we rescued 2 female turkeys on Christmas eve. They have both started laying eggs but do not sit on them. They just drop them anywhere and carry on their business. This hasn't concerned us at all. But one of them does the strangest thing, if we go near her she will sit down, hiss and spread her wings on the floor. She is not scared of us as she will come in the house for food, in fact she will chase us until she gets some! It is as if it is an involuntary reaction, she won't get up and we can lift her up and she will remain in the same position even when we put her down. She will then get up as if nothing has happened but if we move suddenly towrds her she falls to the floor again. Sometimes she won't do it but it does happen more often than not. She eats, drinks and lays eggs OK and seems fit and healthy in every other way. Has anyone got a clue what this could be???
