Because co-contributor Mike does not want to quit the blog over Marc’s new pets (two chicks), he thought it better to give you an update instead.
The chicks may now be at a more advanced stage such that they are more accurately characterized as “pullets.” Anyone other than farmers know what this means?
A pullet is a young, domestic hen, usually under one year of age. The word comes from the old French word “poulet” or the Latin word “pullus,” meaning a young bird. This should be contrasted with a “biddy” or “hen,” which means an adult female chicken.
However, there is a more sinister secondary definition that we hope does not apply. Some sources classify pullet as the “flesh of a medium-sized young chicken suitable for frying.”
In any event, Marc will either be having great omelets or a nice chicken dinner.
I wonder what chicken tastes like?
