"Male chickens raised for meat are called capons, and they're castrated at about 2-3 months of age, well before an uncastrated rooster would start crowing at 5 months old. This keeps most of the capons from crowing, and the ones that do you can eat first."
I think you'd have to go to France to find any meat like that. The meat chickens Americans are accustomed to are an equal mix of hens and cocks, usually slaughtered at 7 weeks.
