Definition
An alternative or archaic name for a young fowl or chicken, particularly in some regional dialects.
Etymology
From Old English or early Germanic roots meaning 'little cock' or 'young rooster,' combining 'cock' with a diminutive suffix. This word is largely obsolete outside historical or specialized agricultural contexts.
Kelly Says
Words like 'coquicken' are linguistic fossils showing how English names for farm animals have changed dramatically—today we'd just say 'chick' or 'pullet,' but this older term reveals that speakers used to have more specific words for different ages and types of poultry, suggesting closer relationships with farm life.
