Hi there! Let's talk about the new baby turkeys called turkey poults that have just hatched from their eggs.
A poult is a name for a baby turkey. When a mama turkey lays eggs, she sits on them to keep them warm for about four weeks. This is called incubating the eggs. Inside each egg, a tiny baby turkey starts to grow.
After the growing time, the baby turkey uses a small special tool called an egg tooth to break the eggshell. When the shell cracks open, the poult carefully comes out. It might be a little wet and fluffy at first, but soon it dries and looks like a tiny bird with soft feathers.
Newly hatched turkey poults stay close to their mother. She teaches them how to find food, like seeds and bugs, and how to stay safe. Poults grow quickly and one day, they become big turkeys like their parents.
Isn't it amazing how baby turkeys hatch out of eggs and start their turkey family adventure?
