If you know it is a Rooster, then you know it is a male.
Neutering a rooster is a major surgery. The sexual organs that need to be altered are on the inside of the bird. This creates a capon.
A rooster should not be chemically castrated. This is not a humane practice, and could result in seriously harming the animal.
Yes Hens and roosters mate to fertilize the eggs the hen produces
a chicken need a rooster to fertilize it's sex cell whatever it is A chicken can lay an egg without a rooster but the egg can never be hatched. If the egg is fertilized then the egg is able to hatch.
When they get the injections from a rooster's comb, the rooster does have to be killed. They can get rid of a rooster's comb without killing it but it has to be on the first day that it is born.
Some breeds, known as sex links, can be sexed at birth however the methods vary depending on the breed. Generally speaking, the combs of the roosters will be larger than that of hens of the same breed. By the time a rooster is about 4-6 months old you should hear them crow, which is the one way to tell for sure as hen don't crow.
The plural of rooster is roosters.

A Black Star rooster has a white dot on its head, where the females do not. Black Stars as sex-link chickens meaning you can tell their sex by their color once hatched.

you can sex a silkie by its pompom on the top if it is big that normally means its a hen and if it is small or doesn't have one it normally means a rooster
A chicken is always a girl and a rooster is always a boy.
Absolutely yes. A hen does not need a rooster to produce eggs, she only produces fertile eggs when a rooster is involved. Many farm flocks do not have a rooster among the flock and egg production does not suffer in the slightest. A rooster job is to protect the flock and mate with the hens to produce offspring but the hens will continue to lay eggs with or without him.
I don't know. by "do it" do you mean have sex? or should i say mate? I don't even think that's possible lol
