In older chickens how do you pick which is the rooster?
When chickens grow up, the roosters often develop the red comb and wattle, and denser feathers, before hens. Fully-grown roosters are usually larger than the hens. They have a leaner, less 'dumpy' shape, and their tail feathers are much larger and curve out. They often have a larger, brighter comb and wattle. They also strut around, crow, and if run with hens will attempt to mount them.
Are their some breed of chicken without comb or wattle?
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.
