A chicken is a species of domesticated barn yard fowl.
The female chicken who lays eggs is called a HEN.
However
There are many other birds where we call the female a Hen.
Way different species! The male and female parrot may be called a cock and a hen and your male and female chickens are cocks (rooster) and hens. The parrot is an exotic ornamental species and the chicken (hen) is used for eggs and meat.
A frog is an Amphibian and a hen is not!

Old chickens are called hens or stewing hens. These are chickens that no longer produce eggs. Their muscles are tough and need to be stewed a long time to become a delicious treat. They make good chicken soup.
No. All chickens do not lay eggs, only hens.
Stew meat. ;) Old chickens don't actually have any special nomenclature. "Pullets" are young, immature female chickens and "hens" are mature, female chickens. However, most hens will continue laying until the year they die, just not nearly in the quantity that they did when they were 1 year old.
Cocks are male chickens or birds and the females are called hens.
== == Although most commonly associated with female chickens on a farm, "hen" is used to refer to adult females of any domestic fowl or galliformes, and can be used generically for all female birds. It is also the term for the females of some aquatic species, such as the octopus and lobster.
They are from CHICKENS OR HENS because an egg can not produce another egg. (They are hens not chickens.)
Female adult females are called hens. A male is a rooster or cock.
A hen is an adult female chicken.The set of all hens is a subset of the set of all chickens.
Roosters and hens. ***** The male could also be called a 'cock' or 'cockerel'.
