Men did not do chores, that was the female's and the children's job

2nd answer: The question is somewhat vague. If we take "chores" in the context of farm work or agriculture then men focused on the heavy field work, such as plowing, sowing, harrowing, harvesting, and haymaking. There were probably numerous minor chores that needed attention in addition.

Women in a medieval farming village did a great deal of work as well. They tending the household garden (which could be extensive and was an important food source), cared for animals, milked the dairy stock and processed the milk into butter and cheese, did crafts such as spinning and brewing, supervised children, and did household chores such as cooking and cleaning. Women might also do field work such as weeding, and on occasion participated in heavier farm labor as well. During the harvest nearly all able bodied people were pressed into service.
