Do male and female turkeys flock together in the same roost during winter?

No, male and female turkeys do not typically roost together in the same roost during winter. While they may share the same general roosting area, such as a wooded hillside or grove of trees, males and females generally roost separately. This separation is thought to be due to differences in their social behavior and foraging strategies. Males tend to be more aggressive than females and often form dominance hierarchies within the flock. By roosting separately, females may avoid conflict with males and better protect their young. Additionally, males and females may have different foraging strategies during the winter, which could lead them to roost in different locations.
