What Is a Group of Wild Turkeys Called?

Flocks may be made up primarily of hens and chicks with a few male turkeys and one dominant male turkey. A hen is female turkey, and a chick is a baby turkey. A male turkey is known as a tom or a jake. Sometimes a flock may be composed of unpaired male turkeys. Turkeys use flocks to better detect the presence of predators. During breeding season, some hens leave the flock to raise their families.
