Sorry. I didn't see when I posted answer to your other post, how old they were. They are practicing but you might have some agressors there. Keep an eye out and see how often they do that.They are aweful young to be showing signs of competing at this time. Do you have them free ranging or are they penned up? L've learned if the pen is too small they will compete for space as well as hens. If they are free ranging they may be establidhing a pecking order to see who the dominate male is. I'll go searching to see what I can find on turkeys and their sparing habits. My turkeys pecked at each other from time to time. I had the bronze turkeys. They went through this for about a month or so them it calmed down and I saw at the end of this, that I had one dominate Turkey that got first rights to breeding with the hens. Let me investigate a little further to see what I can learn. I'll get back to you on this tomorrow.
