poussinh
Poussinh is a term that refers to a young fowl, specifically a chick of a chicken or other domestic bird species. It is typically used for very young birds that have recently hatched and are still dependent on their mother. The term is often associated with the early stages of a bird's life, before it develops its adult plumage and independence. In some culinary contexts, poussin refers to a young chicken, typically weighing between 28 to 45 ounces (800 to 1250 grams), that is sold as a whole bird. These birds are usually raised for a shorter period than mature chickens and are known for their tender meat and delicate flavor. The term poussin itself is derived from the French word for "chick."
