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,
It is part of the phrase "banty rooster" which was short for "bantam rooster" which is a smaller breed of fowl than normal-sized roosters. They're only about half the size of normal ones. The phrase "like a banty rooster" was commonly used to describe a person who acted tough or suave in order to "outman" the others. It can also mean cocky or oversure of oneself. PMZ
No, he will not hurt his chicks in any way and will defend them like my rooster does.

If a rooster has not been in contact with the hen, there will be no chicks. The birds and the bees with chickens are much like humans, at least for fertilization. There has to be mating for there to be babies.
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.
It is a chicken that is like a banty rooster. The word "Banty" is a rural version of the word "Bantam". So, a Banty chicken is a Bantam chicken, which is a chicken that is 1/5 to 1/4 the size of a normal chicken of that breed.
A banty egg is an egg laid by a bantam chicken. Bantams are small chicken breeds known for their colorful plumage and ornamental purposes. Banty eggs are typically smaller in size compared to regular chicken eggs.
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.
They are white and fluffy, basically like eagle chicks.
