Does that mean a young rooster? Click to expand... Yes. Pullets and cockerels are females and males under a year of age. Once over a year of age, you have a hen or cock. Rooster can mean a male of any age. And don't be sorry, asking questions is always a good thing! It means you're learning. Last edited: Aug 4, 2016
