Neither. The age is the determining factor. The only way you can tell on meat is if you've got the whole chicken thighs. At the top of a rooster's thigh is a little "alcove" in which are located the rooster equivalent of testicles. It's a little hollow area in the edge of the bone with some dark squishy "meat" in it. These are the testes. In no other part of the bird can you tell which you're getting, and it really doesn't matter unless you get a really old bird, and then that's because old birds are tough and roosters more so because they fight a lot more than the hens do.

idk but weird question

Rooster is chicken. both the same you want to know if it is a rooster or a hen....Meat taste the same if the age is the same. The taste changes as the bird gets older...hens and roosters taste alike
sw

you have to ask for chicken if u want chicken and u have to ask for rooster if you want rooster..................

Good Question. Look it up on the internet and let me know.

The vast majority of chicken sold are males killed under 8 weeks of age, though some may be pullets (term for a hen under a year old). At any rate they are killed long before they reach sexual maturity.

You can get stewing hens which are layers that have gotten too old.

You can also get Cornish hens.

It is rare to find roosters ever sold for food and they would be tough and gamy
