What is another word for male chicken?
Pronunciation: [mˈe͡ɪl t͡ʃˈɪkɪn] (IPA) 
The term "male chicken" is a bit crude and not often used in polite conversation. However, there are several more acceptable synonyms that can be used instead. The most commonly used synonym is "rooster," which is the term for a male chicken kept for breeding purposes. Another synonym is "cock," which is often used in a more informal setting, such as in reference to a gamecock. "Cockerel" is another synonym, which refers to a young male chicken that is not yet mature. Other less common synonyms include "capon," which is a neutered male chicken, and "stag," which is a male chicken raised for fighting purposes.
