The Turkey Family's New Baby Chicks: What Are Poults? | Fun Learning for 6-Year-Olds

Hi there! Let's learn about the turkey family and their new baby chicks!

When turkeys have babies, the tiny baby turkeys are called poults. Just like baby chickens are called chicks, baby turkeys have their own special name.

Here is how it happens step by step:

• The mommy turkey lays eggs.
• She sits on the eggs to keep them warm. This is called incubating.
• After some days, the eggs hatch, and out come the little baby turkeys called poults!
• The poults are very small and soft. They stay close to their mommy turkey to stay safe and warm.
• As they grow, poults learn to find food and walk around.

Isn't it exciting that birds like turkeys have their own names for their babies? Now you know that baby turkeys are called poults!
