From both actually. When raising meat birds they grow so fast they do not distinguish genders. The birds are ready for market long before the become sexually active and the meat is the same anyway.

"Chicken" doesn't mean female. Hen or rooster determines male or female so if you're eating chicken, it could be a hen or a rooster.

Chicken in the store is it hen or rooster?

They are both! Most of the chickens in the super markets are raised especially for meat use and grow so fast (heavy) that they are useless for breeding or pets. They are generally crosses between cornish and rock breeds. The roosters may reach market weight a few weeks sooner then the hens but they will soon follow.


Do duck eggs come out of there butt?

No. A chicken lays it's egg through a cloaca, which is a common cavity into which the intestinal, genital, and urinary tracts open in vertebrates such as fish, reptiles, birds, and some primitive mammals. In other words, its like an all-in-one common, primarily exit, vent for the hen. The vagina in the chicken acts as the passage from the uterus to the cloaca. Chicken vaginas also have reservoirs for storing sperm. So while in the real world, in the hen, sperm from roosters are used for reproduction, and, it should be noted that hens do not need roosters to produce eggs; hence, the unfertilized eggs are the ones for human consumption.

How long should you cook chicken Breasts at what temperature should you set the oven at and how long do you leave the chicken in?

I usually cook bonless chicken breasts in a pre-heated oven @ 350 for 30-35mins 350 for 1 hour is comon temperature. or 375 for 45 minutes. 45 mins to an hour for bone-in chicken (thighs,legs,breast) at 350 degrees ..either way,pierce it with a fork,if the juice comes out clear and NOT pink, it is cooked. I always bake my thawed chicken breasts at 375 degrees for 50 min. and they come out juicy and fully cooked. The juices need to run clear. Test the largest one for doneness, by cutting it right through the middle to make sure there is no pink.
