“Farruj” is a name for a young chicken and refers to a growth stage, not to a new species. Secondary sexual differences are usually not evident at hatching; differences between males and females then appear gradually in the development of the comb, wattles, spurs and some feathers. The age and breed of the farruj must be determined before choosing its appearance; a newly hatched chick must not be depicted with the comb and spur of an adult rooster.
