I wonder if this wild turkey self identifies as guinea hen

I’ve noticed this turkey hen has been hanging with our guinea hens. We never have had tame turkeys, several days ago I saw a wild gobbler a huge male along tree line. And yesterday and today I’ve noticed this turkey hen hanging with guineas whatever works I guess. The guineas are free range but I toss down feed for them.

I think she shows up to eat definitely funny but if we walk down in lower pasture she takes off.

you are feeding it and that you didn’t tell it we’re full, turn around and go back to where you came from.
