I would think it likely that was a flock of young turkeys with several hens. If you have 20 hens in a flock, that would mean you have a lot of turkeys, yet zero reproduction. It is more probable that several hens have gotten together and pooled their poults. By this time of year, it's really hard to tell a young turkey of either sex from a hen.
But either way, congrats on having turkeys. I've seen more young turkeys this year than I have in decades.

I've seen the same. The next few years look very promising. Same here! Sure makes me feel better about all the time and money invested in them.
