What is the Hungarian word for 'chicken and 'chick'
This may seem very obvious to solve with a translating machine however I was learning the animals in hungarian when I came across different sources where it was translated differently.

what I've found:
chicken (the meat) = csirke
chicken = tyúk
chicken = kacsa

Chick (the baby version) = csirke
Chick (the baby version) = csibe
Chick (the baby version) = csaj

My question whats the correct one (or when to use it in which situation)?
