أجنة الدجاج


Explanation:
True, seesan is commonest in Syria, Jordan, and Lebanon. Katakeet is mainly Egyptian. I'd choose seesan when talking about chicks, but I think chick embryos simply means "chicks in the embryo stage" unless a chick (soos) can carry an embryo. Therefore I think chick embryos would mean embryos that hens carry, which leads to ajennat al djaj.
