[quote=Halo] If you buy a chicken in the supermarket, chances are it is a female chicken. That is fact. Of course you can eat males, it's meat like any other meat - usually as capons after they've been castrated (and therefore develop similarly to females.) But having just looked this up, it appears that female chickens are preferred and are the ones generally sold in supermarkets and such, due to better meat quality (and other, more logistical reasons.) [/quote] I was going to argue with you further than I realized that we are arguing about a fucking bucket of chicken and it's contents. As I said though it's both.
