what is the difference between hen and cock
Hens generally have much smaller combs than roosters. (cock). Combs are floppy and fall across their faces then these are the hens. The rooster’s tail feathers will be much longer and fuller than the hens. Hens cannot crow, where as a cock crows loudly.Roosters also have shinier feathers than hens as they have oil glands that help them preen their feathers.
