What is a baby turkey called?

A baby turkey is called a poult. Poults are fluffy and relatively helpless when they hatch. They are covered in downy feathers, usually a mottled brown and/or black to help them camouflage in their natural environment. Their eyes are open at birth, and they are able to walk and follow their mother (hen turkey) almost immediately. However, they are highly dependent on their mother for warmth, protection, and food for the first several weeks of their lives. Poults are incredibly vulnerable to predators and harsh weather conditions.
