All chickens can be eaten; however, some breeds are bred to produce more meat and are raised primarily for meat production. Egg-laying breeds can also be eaten, but don't have much meat on them. Many farmers will eat egg-laying breeds (after the hen has slowed their laying) in soups or stews since the meat is often more tough.

∙ 15y agoYes they can, gender does not matter when the chickens are young and most of the chicken you eat or buy from the grocery store is under 20 weeks old at the time they are processed. Roosters that have been neutered young are raised for meat and are called Capons and they can be as old as two years. Non neutered roosters older than two are often eaten but are called stewing "hens" as the meat is tougher and needs longer cooking.
