Why is it masculine?
Poulet is masculine because it derives from Old French "poulet," a diminutive form of "poule" (feminine for hen). The -et suffix in Old French typically produced masculine nouns. While the Latin root "pullus" (young animal, chick) was masculine, the gender of "poulet" in French is primarily determined by the productive masculine -et diminutive suffix that was applied to the feminine "poule."
