Two adult gobblers (male) wild turkeys. A female turkey is called a hen, and it is quite different from its flamboyant male counterpart. Female turkeys do the majority of incubation and caring for young chicks, and their plumage is much more camouflaged to help provide them with better security while on the nest or tending youngsters.
