Hey! Who you calling chick?
It’s easy to call a baby turkey by the same name as a baby chicken. But a baby turkey is actually called a poult. Poults don’t stay young for long because of the demand for turkey. According to the National Turkey Federation, the average American eats about 16.4 pounds of turkey each year.
