chickens and roosters
Not necessarily. In many breeds of chickens both roosters and hens have combs although the roosters combs are usually more pronounced and develop faster than the hens. Combs are described in several ways, such as Peacombs, double combs, single comb and combless such as Silkies. If all your chickens are of the same breed then you probably have one of the breeds that only the roosters develop combs or the hens combs are still too small to identify. Check the link below to see various breeds.

No. UPDATE: Yes, in way you can actually tell, because roosters don't lay eggs and therefore don't sit on nests. So when your chicken starts laying eggs, you know its a "girl" (girl chicken= a chicken or hen, boy chicken = a rooster or cock) Roosters also crow and their combs and tail are most of the time (depends on the breed) bigger.
