Up to about 4 or 5 months old the rate will be roughly equal, after that
Males usually feather more slowly and patchier than hens. The roosters tail will take longer as it has more to grow.
No, a chicken needs a rooster to fertilize the egg in order for it to develop into a chick. Without the rooster's contribution, the eggs laid by a hen will remain unfertilized and will not hatch into chicks.
A young chicken is called a chick, a pullet (young hen), or a cockerel (young rooster).
Chicks are typically produced through the fertilization of a hen's egg by a rooster. During mating, the rooster transfers sperm into the hen's reproductive tract, which then fertilizes the egg. The fertilized egg is then laid by the hen and incubated until the chick hatches.
Chicks are hatched with down feathers. These are smaller and lack the barbules and hooklets of an adult chicken feather. These feathers are not zipped together and do not look neat and tidy. A chicks first covering is soft and fluffy. This provides most of the insulation needed to keep the chick warm. These first feathers last only for a week or so and are soon replaced by what will eventually be full adult feathering.
When they start to develop into a grown chicken, roosters get larger combs and waffles (the red wobbly bits on their heads) than normal hens and they start to crow. They also behave differently than girls such as pecking or anything that shows the other chickens they're boss. if you have two roosters they often fight. Roosters also start to grow another claw or toe on the back of their leg that they use for fighting. If they are young though, it's hard to tell but some experts or farmers can tell by . . . well . . . looking at their . . .um . . . private bits.
Definitely NO because hens egg is chicks before hatching and when hatched when it grow up it is already rooster if the chick is a boy but if it is a girl it is a hen..

noO!
A hen only lays an egg with a chick inside if the egg has been fertilized by a rooster, otherwise it lays eggs without chicks.
basically you have a fifty fifty chance of getting a black chick or a grey chick although I find my chicks tend to take after their mothers
