Roosters are typically larger and have more vibrant plumage compared to chickens. Roosters also have larger combs and wattles, as well as longer, more pronounced tail feathers. Additionally, roosters have spurs on their legs, which are used for defense and mating purposes.
Combs are not just decorations on a chicken head. The comb of a chicken (both male and female) combined with the wattle to help cool the chicken down in hot conditions. Blood circulated through these two fleshy areas is exposed to air and cools as it travels through.
A fertilized hen egg is an egg that has been fertilized by a rooster. This means that there is a possibility that the egg contains a developing embryo. If the fertilized eggs are not collected and incubated, they will not hatch and will be indistinguishable from unfertilized eggs when cracked open for consumption.
A chicken egg is diploid because it contains the genetic material from both the mother (hen) and father (rooster) chickens that fertilized the egg. Diploid means it has two sets of chromosomes, one set from each parent.
Chickens lay unfertilized eggs because they do not need a rooster to produce eggs. Hens have reproductive systems that allow them to lay eggs regularly, whether or not they have mated with a rooster.
Chickens combine eggs to make a baby chick through a process called fertilization. When a rooster mates with a hen, the rooster's sperm fertilizes the hen's egg, which then develops into a baby chick inside the egg.
A female has a little bit of feathers on its head and a male doesn't. Also, a rooster (male chicken) crows; a chicken clucks, and a rooster fertilizes eggs, whereas a chicken or hen (female chicken) lays eggs.
