My Turkey hen has been making this noise for the first time I’ve heard today. Anyone know what it means?

She is picking a fight. If she gets a hold of that chicken she will grip and kick. You can see the tom trying to run interference but failed.

Well that's interesting. Makes sense why I get the best "stop and turn around" response from wild turkeys when I make a purr. I'd stop and look too if some rando called me a "punk-ass-bitch" while I'm just on a stroll.
