What does POULT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A young domestic fowl, especially a young turkey, chicken or pheasant being reared for meat.
A poult is too young to be called a hen or a tom, and poultry farmers use the word specifically for birds still being raised toward maturity rather than for chicks in general. Turkey poults need careful warmth and feeding in their first weeks, since they are more delicate than young chickens, and a poor start can leave a whole batch of poults stunted. The word is closely related to poultry itself, both tracing back through French to the Latin pullus, a young animal. Away from farming, poult also names a corded silk fabric, an unrelated word that simply happens to share the same spelling and sound.
How POULT is used
Chiefly a poultry-farming term, used by breeders and in agricultural writing rather than in everyday speech.
- The farmer moved the turkey poults into a heated shed for their first month.
- A sick poult was separated from the rest of the flock overnight.
- By ten weeks, the pheasant poults were nearly ready for release.
- Each poult needed its own feeder until it grew strong enough to compete for food.
- The hatchery shipped several thousand poults to farms across the region.
