FOWL

Fowl — plate from The Grocer's Encyclopedia (1911)
Fowl

a word which was originally used in the same general sense as "bird" but which is in modern language applied only to poultry, particularly the domestic cock or hen, and to-day generally signifies those too old for broiling. The word "chicken" is now almost universally used both in trade circles and in government reports to designate fowl of any size killed for eating.
