How to say Chicken in other languages

The term used to describe baby chickens in the early 40's and sometimes today by older generations and generations derived from them is "bitties"

modern poultry owners will refer to baby chicks as "puffballs", "baby chicks/ens" , "little bits" and "cockerels/pullets/strait-runs".
My Nanna always called them Bitties!! I forgot!! Kewl thanks for the memory pull!!!!
 
I call my just hatched Iddy Bitties, then when they grow some pullets, after a year old hens. My boys are called trouble LOL. There always trouble to get rid of them. I've been fortunate & have sold all my cockerels I don't need.
