Hey, can anyone tell me whether we eat female chicken or male chicken?
Or both?

Meat chickens - both male and females are processed. Considering they are less than two months old (but fully grown), when slaughtered, you can’t tell the difference between a male or female packaged meat bird.
Egg layers or dual purpose chickens - just the hens (females) are ‘edible’.
Males (or roosters) are stronger tasting, tougher, less fat and less edible meat than females.
Capons are roosters that are castrated at a very young age. These birds are tastier compared to hens and grow much larger.
