What is the difference between "hen" and "chicken"?
Thanks in advance

To complicate matters, in BrE 'cockerel' is often used instead of 'rooster' which is more AmE. (Dictionaries say a cockerel is a young cock, but I hear the term used very generally for a male chicken.) The more traditional work is of course 'cock' (hence peacock and peahen).Chicken----Hen--------Rooster---Chick
