An archaic or dialectal term for a young fowl or bird, particularly a chick or newly hatched poultry.
Likely derived from Old English 'fugel' (bird) with archaic suffixes, found in rare Middle English texts describing stages of bird development.
Some words simply vanish from use, leaving only traces in old manuscripts—'fowent' is so rare that we might only know it from a single 13th-century agricultural text.
