Need some help here

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.

Wow Maj! Thanks

Maj, I am thinking about raising a few for eggs and slaughter. Got any pics of your setup?

Mother use to buy 500 to a 1,000 day old chicks. At that amount she would get a super low price. You do have some that die off. She would put a sign out at the road and sale off some and almost make her money back. As the chicks got older, the price went up. When the cockerels would get about 9 months old, we had a slaughter day.

I fel like beavis n butthead right now. He he he. Minner said chew on. He he he

Hey Slimey, I looked in my chicken book and the closest purebred I could find to it is the Welsummer. It's also called the "Kellogg's Chicken". I'm looking at the head with the large single comb and the long tail feathers.
