I believe boiler hens are also call "fowel" (not ducks) and they are the chickens that have been allowed to reach maturity in order to fertilize eggs to produce chicks. They are called boiler hens because there meat becomes very tough with age and the only way to make the meat tender and edable is to boil it.
