There is no difference, but we don't say "poulet petit".
Some epithet adjectives (usually short, and in common use) are usually anteposed: they actually retain the normal place they had in Old French. These are essentially the following adjectives:
autre, beau/bel, bon, brave, grand, gros, jeune, joli, mauvais, même, meilleur, moindre, petit, pire, vieux/vieil…
So the correct form is "petit poulet"
