How is hen's behavior different from rooster's?

Answer:

Absolutely different if not kept in a cage.
Roosters will usually look after a group of hens watching for predators. That's why they are quite aggressive and try to stand between you and the hens. They actually eat very little compared to hens. The rooster will try to mate with each hen once a day. On the contrary, hens pay little attention to their surroundings, concentrated in finding something to eat. Hens scratch the ground to recognize living organisms like earthworms using their eyesight. Hens usually move in group or in pairs. When satisfied, hens will "bathe" in dry earth to get rid of parasites.
Of course, behavior changes when they tend their chicks. During incubation, hens become aggressive too!
