Is there such thing as a female chicken?

While it might seem like a silly question, there's a bit of nuance to it!

Technically, there is no such thing as a "female chicken." The term "chicken" is typically used to describe both male and female birds of the species *Gallus gallus domesticus*.

The correct terms are:

* Hen: A female chicken.

* Rooster: A male chicken.

So, if you're looking for a female chicken, you'd ask for a hen! 🐔
