There is no difference. A cock is a mature male chicken, also called a rooster. A cockerel is a immature male chicken.
ha that IS a difference lol. and the question was between a rooster and a cockerel, not a cock :)
Well, etymologically, the difference is in the USE of said bird. 'Rooster' is an adult male bird kept for EATING, or one who occupies the roost, as opposed to a bird kept for breeding purposes....
Hence I have a cage of roosters without any hens, that I will slaughter for the table, but I have only one cock with each group of hens. A bird over a year, but still edible is a rooster, a bird over 5 and not headed for the table, but kept for breeding is a cock.
The words "pigeon" and "dove" are usually used interchangeably to refer to a set of species of birds in the genus "Columbidae". People who use them separately usually use "pigeon" to describe the larger ones and "dove" to describe the smaller ones.
A rooster is a male chicken and a chicken by means is a hen the female chicken
roosters are the male of the chicken species
There are so many similarities between chicken and doves. Both of them are birds that lay eggs to reproduce young ones.
a baby of a dove is formed only by a mother .... but a rooster has to have sex with the male rooster in order to have a baby.
A hen is a girl and a rooster is a boy.
Antlers
Nothing. Hen, laying hen, broiler hen. The amount of feed they receive and the age they live to is about the only difference. The laying hen will live to produce eggs and the broiler hen will eat well until she reaches optimal weight and be processed into meat.
The rooster will grow a spur about 2 inches above the back claw and inside the leg. Hens do not grow spurs.
Hen. A rooster is a chicken of the male gender, so the opposite (in gender) is the female, or hen.
If you are taking about the hen sitting on eggs then it will make things easy for you and the hen. you will have a better outcome if you move the hen or take the rooster out.
Hen or pullet
The hen is smaller and has a smaller tail, comb and wattle.The rooster is bigger has a larger tail, comb and wattle.
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,
Well a rooster is born with different parts than a hen. Hens can lay eggs and roosters can not.

I am not sure if you are talking about a hen foot or a rooster foot as in math, because I have not heard of that, but if you are talking about the bird chicken, an adult rooster usually has a spur (hard, naturally pointed growth) just above his foot, while a hen usually has just a small bump in the same spot.
