a. Pullus generale vocabulum est omnium alitum: et quadruped<i>um etiam quorundam foetus pulli dicuntur, ut equi et asini, unde pullini dentes, Grapaldus. Pullos dicimus parvos foetus quorumcunque animalium, sed praecipue avium: et inter eas gallinarum praecipue per excellentiam. Sed iumentorum quoque, ut Graeci πῶλον, nos füle. Ranae pullos Horatius dixit[1], de apibus novellis Columella. Quia tu gallinae filius albae, Nos viles pulli nati inf{o}elicibus ovis, Iuvenalis[2]. Quinetiam arborum atque plantarum pullos dicimus, ut Plinius[3], unde verba pullulare, pullescere, pullulascere. Pullatio, foetura pullorum, Columellae[4]. Pullities ipsa pullatio vel pulli ipsi: qua voce idem utitur de turture, anseribus et apibus. Georg. Alexandrinus in priscarum vocum enarratione, pullicium, (pulliciem legendum arbitror) interpretatur foeturam pullorum e Varronis lib. 3.[5] Pullinus, quod est pulli. unde pullini dentes, quos primum equi faciunt. Pullarius, qui pullorum curam habet. et qui e pastu pullorum captat auspicia, ut in Gallo h. ostendimus[6].

a. Chick is a term generally used for all the birds: and also the newborns of some quadrupeds are said pulli - babies or colts, as horses and donkeys, whence pullini teeth . milk teeth, Francesco Mario Grapaldi. We call pulli the offspring of whatever animal, but above all of the birds: and among them for excellence above all of the hens. But also of burden beasts, as Greeks pôlon - colt / filly, so we say füle. Horace said pulli of the frog, Columella told it for the young bees. Because you are child of a white hen, we are worthless chicks hatched from unlucky eggs, Juvenal. In truth we say pulli - tillers - of the trees and of the plants as Pliny, from which the verbs pullulare, pullescere, pullulascere - to bud. Pullatio - brooding - for the incubation of the chicks, in Columella. Pullities means the brooding in itself or the chicks: we use this term evenly for turtle dove, geese and bees. Giorgio Merula in Enarrationes vocum priscarum interprets pullicium (I think it must be read pulliciem) as the offspring of the chickens inferring it from the 3^rd book of De re rustica by Varro. Pullinus means what is of the chick. From which pullini teeth - milk teeth, those the horses utter for the first time. Pullarius - the poulterer, he who takes care of the chickens. As well as - the keeper of the holy chickens - he who draws the omens from the manner the chickens are eating, as we explained in the paragraph h of the Cock.

¶ c. Alulen, id est cibus pullorum, Vetus Glossographus Avicennae. Insipere, farinam iacere pultis, (lego pullis.) Unde dissipare, obsipare, ut cum rustici dicunt, Obsipa pullis escam, Festus[7].

¶ c. Alulen, that is the food of the chickens, the ancient glossographer of Avicenna. To throw inside, to throw the flour to pultis (I correct with pullis). From which to dissipate, to throw, as when the farmers say: Throw the food to the chickens, Festus.

¶ h. C. Claudio, M. Perpenna coss. pullus gallinaceus quadrupes natus, Iulius Obsequens[8]. Vide supra in Gallina b. ¶ De auguriis vel auspiciis e pullis, leges in Gallo h. Adversus grandines olim agnum aut pullum immolabant, Caelius Calcagninus in libro de re nautica.

¶ In the consulship of Caius Claudius and Marcus Perpenna a gallinaceous chick was born with four legs, Julius Obsequens. See before in the paragraph b of the Hen. ¶ About the prophecies or the auspices inferred from chickens you can read in the paragraph h of the Cock. In the past against the hailstorms they immolated a lamb or a chicken, Celio Calcagnini in the treatise De re nautica.
