The word 'rooster' is mainly US usage. In the UK, Australia and other English speaking countries we (I'm in UK) firmly stick to the more traditional words 'Cock' (a male chicken over a year old) and 'Cockerel' (a male chicken under a year old). I think I'm right in saying the word rooster became popular in the US because it avoided the obvious double entendre of the word cock, which presumably upset very religious, puritanical American folk. As you are no doubt aware, Brits and Aussies are (on average) less easily offended about such matters, indeed most of our comedy is based on it.
