It can be used when referring to a female chicken that is not yet fully mature, often in discussions about poultry or farming.
Example: "The farmer decided to raise a flock of a young hen to increase his egg production."
Alternatives: "a pullet" or "a juvenile hen."

It requires producers to buy chicks and young hens only from suppliers who monitor for salmonella; establish rodent and pest control and other measures to prevent the spread of bacteria throughout the farm; test their poultry houses for the bacterium; and if contamination is found, test samples of their eggs.
Therefore, the addition of Astragalus to feed may be beneficial for modulating the gut microbiota of young hens.
