What does PULLET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A young hen, especially one less than a year old.
Poultry keepers use pullet specifically for a female chicken that has not yet reached full maturity, distinguishing it from an adult hen or a young male chicken, called a cockerel. Pullets are typically raised until they begin laying eggs, at which point farmers commonly start calling them hens instead. The word also appears on menus and in older recipes for the tender meat of a young chicken, valued for being milder and softer than that of an older bird.
