A "Rafter of Turkeys"

What do we call it when more than one turkey is seen and why? A group of turkeys is called a "rafter" and opinions differ as to why. Some people claim it's due to their habit of roosting on barn rafters, others say that it's derived from the word “raft” in its meaning as “a large collection” of something.
