Roosters have a SPUR. Hens do not grow spurs. Spurs show at about 8 months old and older.
It's not the color of his legs. It's the sex ogans he has.

Roosters typically have 4 toes, including one backward-pointing toe used for gripping. While roosters have spurs, they usually have two, one on each leg. Spur size and development can vary among individuals and breeds.
Yes, it is possible to get mites from chickens. Certain mites such as red mites or scaly leg mites can infest chickens and may potentially affect humans who come into close contact with infected birds. Proper hygiene, regular cleaning of chicken coops, and monitoring for signs of mite infestations can help prevent transmission to humans.
You have to listen for the "crow". Only roosters do this. Some say the crown is bigger on the rooster, but I have seen large crowns on types of chickens. So listen for a crow and you'll know its a rooster or watch for an egg and you'll know its a chicken.
Yes, since the males are roosters. I have never seen a rooster leg.
yes.

The spur on a chicken is usualy on a rooster and it is like a big claw on the bottom of their leg. I have chickens and my hens have tiny spur like things but roosters spurs are much bigger.

Well it can depend. As a chicken breeder my chickens are quiet, though I might get a broody hen and I would say 1.5/10. Then you have roosters. nearly all roosters are quiet. and they usually only get aggressive when they find you as a threat, and that's only a small percentage of roosters. Aggressive roosters who have not had much contact with people or bad experiences with people would probably be on the scale of 2.4/10. Though some roosters could get to 3 or 4 out of ten. It is not so much the pecking or clawing, but the spurs on the side of their leg which don't have any skin or scales, just claw. they can get quite long and sharp which is what roosters use for attacking. But most breeders cut these spurs like our fingernails making them a lot less dangerous. but to sum it all up it really depends on the chicken and its nature and temperament. So it is quite hard to sum up how aggressive chickens are, but they would average, 0.7/10
Yes there are one legged chickens. My chicken lost a leg due to an insedent with a raccoon. Also chickens can loose a leg due to cancer. I hope this helped! -Leila
They shake one leg. Best results when the chickens are exposed to R.E.M. music.
The spike on a roosters leg is called a spur. they can get sharp so when they get to big you need to file them. for instructions see http://www.fowlvisions.com/?p=39
Golden Lace Wyandotte roosters have spurs after they are around a year-old. When they are young, you will notice a bump on the inside of the leg. As the rooster matures, this will develop into a spur.
a chickens leg is the whole thing, just like your leg is from hip to ankle. The drumstick of a chickens leg is equal to our knee to ankle area and the thigh of a chicken leg is equal to our hip to knee area. The higher calorie is for the thigh as there is much more meat there.
