What’s the difference between a hen and a rooster

[Dwarf rooster]

Sorry but I’m new at chickens.

 

[Chicken Chicken Love]

Roosters have bigger combs and wattles that are much redder than hens! They are usually bigger than hens and have a saddle tail feathers [ that is when the tail feathers curve down at the end of the tail]. Also, usually, females don't have spurs but males usually always do except for when they are very young.

All of the above ^.

BUT:

Roosters don't lay eggs, they are boys, and the hens are girls. Hens DO lay eggs. You need a rooster to fertilize the eggs so you can have baby chicks. Roosters protect the flock.
