Best Answer

Hens and roosters are both chickens, so the offspring are called chicks. As they get older and show their male or female characteristics, they are called either a hen or a rooster.

Note: In Australia and New Zealand, chickens are called chooks or chookies.

What came first chicken or egg without god?

In a strictly scientific answer, the egg came first. In evolution animals slowly change over hundreds of generations. Creatures that would eventually make the modern chicken, were not themselves chickens because they had not adapted the fetures of the modern chicken. So eventually there was a creature that was not a chicken that had a chicken as an offspring. The chicken offspring came from an egg, so the egg came first.
