A young chicken is commonly referred to as a chick. Chicks are newly hatched chickens and are typically less than a few weeks old. They are known for their fluffy down feathers and small size.
As chicks grow, they go through different stages of development. After a few weeks, they are often called pullets (young female chickens) or cockerels (young male chickens) until they reach maturity.
Understanding these terms can be helpful, especially if you are raising chickens or simply curious about poultry terminology.
