My hen is so funny…

My female Eastern turkey always acts like a male. Here is a wild Osceola and she literally did this for an hour with him. I was hoping she was going to let him mate, but no success! Anyone have an idea of why she is doing this? I don’t think she was trying to dominate him. Video attached.

I had a dominant hen that used to display all the time. Not sure if it's just dominance or has more meaning. The hen controls mating generally, so she was probably telling the Tom to stay back. That would be my guess.

I don't know but she looks like a bossy mate!
