poults
Young turkey birds
Poults are young domestic fowl, especially turkeys.
The term applies from hatching until they develop adult feathers.
Turkey farmers raise poults in heated brooders before moving them outdoors: We ordered fifty poults for the spring.
The word occasionally extends to young pheasants, guinea fowl, or other game birds.
