Summary of the page
Presentation of the hen and her family
The hen is the female cock. The young ones of the hen
are called chicks.
The chicken is a chicken or rooster aged 3 to 10 months,
male or female, raised for its flesh. A small male chicken is
a cockerel, a female chicken a chick.
A capon is a young cock castrated around the age of 5 to
6 months. For the same food, they fatten more quickly;
their flesh is softer and more succulent.
A chicken is a chick to which the ovaries have been
removed. This provides the same benefits as for the
capon. However, this sterilization is practiced almost
nowadays.
The hen does not have sickles, lancets or lugs. She is
duller. The size of the crest and barbels is smaller than
that of the rooster.

a ridge on the top of the head
one or two barbs under the beak

sickle
