I would think that domestic turkeys could give some real insight...

I would pay careful attention to the contented sounds that hens make on the low end while eating and resting.
I would pay extra careful attention to the sounds that hens make just before and during the actual breeding process.
I would pay attention to the cadence and inflection of calls during socialization, relaxation, and danger...

Sounds like a unique opportunity to learn a bit and have a little fun...  Admittedly, whether helpful or not, I would call at those toms and try to work them up...  Just for the heck of it.
Did I do that?

Fly fishermen are born honest, but they get over it.

I will have to find somebody else with turkeys, my friend only has the tom and 2 poult hens at this time.
