Hello, The difference is that a chicken is a female hen and lays egg's and rooster is a male therefore he will fertilize the eggs. The the difference between normal chickens and bantam chickens is that they are much smaller nearly half the size of a average chicken. Hope this Helps,

Much of this depends on the breed, game chickens tend to be more aggresive. Chickens, like people, have individual personalities. You should never assume that ,because it is a certain breed, your chicks will be safe. Ideally, you would want to keep the roosters separate. If you must keep the rooster in the cage with the chicks I would recommend watching them closely for the first few days. Also , if a hen hatched the chicks she will most likely defend them.

Why does your rooster follow you around?
Baby chicks are checked for what sex they are at hatcheries by expert "sexers" at birth. Most people want hens for the eggs they lay, not roosters. Hens lay eggs without a rooster being around. In fact, they lay MORE eggs without a rooster being around because they don't have the constant sexual harassment of the rooster to upset and bother them. So, there are more roosters born than are actually needed. the baby chicks are sold as Easter chicks which are cute but grow up into the pain in the butt critter that mature roosters are. They attack their owners, fight with each other, crow before sunrise, etc. Only a few are needed to make more baby chickens.
