In Commonwealth countries poussin (pronounced /ˈpuːsæn/ and sometimes less commonly called coquelet) is a butcher’s term for a young chicken less than 28 days old at slaughter and usually weighing 400–450 grams (14–16 oz) but not above 750 grams (26 oz). It is sometimes also called spring chicken although the term spring chicken usually refers to chickens weighing 750–850 grams (26–30 oz).
