Default strutting hen

Last Saturday I was setup to try to catch birds coming off a favorite roast. It was extremely windy & I heard absolutely nothing on the roast, but shortly before sun up I had 3 hens fly down in the field and proceed to walk in my direction. I had one hen decoy out and the 2 smaller hens came right to it. The first one there did a full fledge strut w/ wings dragging the ground & tail fanned. I had her at 10 yds & even checked her out w/ 10X binos. It was a hen. I had never seen or heard of this before. Just one of those oddities that if you stay in the woods long enough, you will see something different.

She was showing her dominance to the new hen (your decoy). Hens have a very nice tail fan...
