Definition
A young rooster or small male bird; a young cock.
Etymology
Diminutive form of cock, using the -let suffix to indicate something small or young, similar to how 'piglet' means a small pig.
Kelly Says
The existence of 'cocklet' shows that English had specific words for different life stages of animals—farmers needed precise vocabulary to talk about livestock at each age because they required different care and had different values in medieval and early modern agriculture.
