What is the difference between a hen and a rooster?

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.

Can you tell the sex of a chicken by the position in the nest when chicken is sitting?

No. UPDATE: Yes, in way you can actually tell, because roosters don't lay eggs and therefore don't sit on nests. So when your chicken starts laying eggs, you know its a "girl" (girl chicken= a chicken or hen, boy chicken = a rooster or cock) Roosters also crow and their combs and tail are most of the time (depends on the breed) bigger.
