Due to an ovarian change that affects the balance of hormones in chickens and other birds, it is very rarely possible for a female bird to adopt male secondary sex characteristics (feathers, combs, and even crowing in a hen turned rooster). However, this is not a true sex change because the bird cannot fertilize eggs. On large farms of 10,000 or more hens, this has been definitively observed.
There are some animals that actually change sexes, but the chicken isn't one of them. I recall a marine biologist I once met telling me that all very large groupers -- the ones that weigh hundreds of pounds -- are females because only mature specimens can grow that large and all groupers change to females as they mature. It's called sequential hermaphroditism. When males turn into females, it's called protandry, and when it's the other way around, it's called protogyny. Only fish and some invertebrates demonstrate sequential hermaphroditism.
No. Mammals cannot change gender without medical intervention.
No, prawns do not change gender during their lifetime. They are born either male or female and remain the same gender throughout their life.
Hen. A rooster is a chicken of the male gender, so the opposite (in gender) is the female, or hen.
No, Albino African Clawed frogs do not have the ability to change gender. They are either male or female from birth and their gender is determined genetically.
A cockerel is a male chicken and a hen is the female chicken. A hen, as in 'peacock and peahen'. It is the same with chickens and swampfowl. Unless of course someone with a ten-year-old boy's brain is just posting stupid questions and I just fell for it.
The gender nouns for a chicken are:rooster for the malehen for the female
No. But a disease may cause a rooster to change its gender and become a hen!
Frogs can change sex and snakes can loose skin but if you say happy animal life four times you become a chicken!

You cannot change your gender in AQW unfortunatly :(
It depends entirely on the language and, in a number of languages, the gender changes whether we are referring to a living chicken or "food-item" chicken, since those can be distinct words.
The role of chicken sex chromosomes in determining the gender of chickens is similar to that in humans. Female chickens have two Z chromosomes (ZW) and male chickens have one Z and one W chromosome. The presence of the W chromosome determines the chicken's gender as female, while its absence results in a male chicken.
