Pullets are female chickens less than a year old. An older female chicken is called a hen. (Although some people, in some places, will call a pullet a hen when she's less than a year old but has been laying eggs for a while. Others might say she isn't a hen until her first adult moult, which could be more like 18 months than a year old. Generally people mean a female chicken that's less than a year old, though.)
A cockerel is a male chicken that's less than a year old. An older male chicken is called a cock or a rooster.
