Older female chicks, too old to be called peeps, but too young to lay eggs yet.

Cyborg and I have five barred-rock hens and two broad-breasted white turkeys (Thanksgiving!)

We put them inside a chicken-wire dome over this ant colony and they basically ate an entire ant civilization. Good riddance too.

pullets = Girl Chickens
roosters = Boy chickens.

Our Boys free range all day, and have done a job on the bugs. The girls I keep penned up, because the boys are good roosters and I don't have that many girls.
