LOL: go on line and look up "Capon chicken". this will give you some insight.
I have tried all kinds: organic, free-range, penned. I have raised chicken.
This is a difference in some. Try different ones and different ways to cook um.
It's like the HEN vs. the TOM turkey. Hens are supposed to be more tender as toms or male chickens use there energy to well...you know...now a Capon is a casterated male chicken..really...look it up.

Typical meat birds are hybirds that don't live long enough to reach maturity. They should be slaughtered long before mating age to avoid leg and heart problems.

Thank you Maine Writer for your explanation about that which I did not know. From my different world, I am disturbed about this. Perhaps they should be slaughtered as embryos to avoid the short horrible life they will endure

An older, larger bird - "roasting hen" typically has a stronger "chicken" flavor, at least as far as I've seen. They're great for chicken and dumplings.
