They don't sell roosters to eat, they'd be too tough and gamey to eat.
Capons are males that have been castrated.
Your frying and stewing chickens are always female.

Both. About half of all chickens are roosters. They are processed separately from hens because their meat is tougher, and mostly used in things like soups and pot pies where they are cooked longer and will be tender enough.

Hen - the rooster is called capon and is typically leaner but tougher and better suited for stewing.
