A young male turkey is called a "jake." They can be identified by the shape of their "tail" (actually a "train" located forward of the true tail). In mature males, the feathers of the train are all the same length, forming a circular fan when spread. In jakes, the feathers near the edges are shorter. This forms two pronounced "steps" either side of the center of the fan. Very young turkeys are called "poults." For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Turkey
