when is a "chick" no longer a chick

[capebird]

Is there an age that a chick is no longer called a chick... and maybe called
something else.... a pullet?

thanks

I don't know the technical answer but I call mine chicks until about 4 months old.

A pullet is any female chicken under a year. A cockerel is any male chicken under a year. But I still don't know when they stop being chicks. Maybe when they lay an egg or that thing that roosters do besides crowing?

Yup. I know the answer, technically, but the young ones are "chicks" until POL.
