Feminine of 'Rooster' is _______.

Solution: The correct answer is 'Hen'.

Explanation: A rooster (also called a cock; a young male may be called a cockerel) is a male chicken. The female chicken is called a hen.

Why the other choices are incorrect:

• Roosters — This is the plural of rooster (male chickens); it is not a feminine form.

• Mare — This term refers to a female horse, not a chicken.

• Roostress — Not a standard English term for a female chicken; the standard term is 'hen'.

Additional examples of masculine and feminine animal terms:

• Stallion : Mare

• Bull : Cow

• Actor : Actress (note: some modern usage uses the same term for both genders)

• King : Queen
