        Aren’t chickens the females. Or is chicken the general term for that kind of poultry? I always saw “chicken breast” and “chicken eggs” at the supermarket, so in my head chickens were the ones laying eggs. English not my first language as well.

          Generally meat chickens are male, the term for female chickens is a hen. A male is a cock, cockrel, or rooster.
