Most certainly. Hens are smaller on average but most chefs prefer the hen bird to the Tom for flavor when quantity of meat per bird is not a priority.
In home cooking it all comes down to a matter of personal preference and often expense. The smaller birds are usually hens. Hens are usually less than 16 pounds when processed while Toms are much larger at the same age. Male birds have larger bones and therefore less meat or edible portions. As for tenderness, age not gender is the determining factor.
