Understanding Turkey Baby Chicks for 6-Year-Olds: Learn About Poults!

Hello! Let’s learn about the turkey family and their new baby chicks. When a mother turkey lays eggs, she keeps them warm until tiny baby turkeys, called poults, hatch out of the eggs. "Hatch" means the baby bird breaks out of its egg. These poults are very small and fluffy when they are born. They stay close to their mommy turkey, who takes care of them and keeps them safe. As the poults grow, they start to learn how to find food and fly a little bit. Isn’t it amazing how baby turkeys grow just like you do? So, the next time you see a turkey, you can remember that the little baby turkeys are called poults, and they just hatched from eggs!
