Well 'cock' is used as well I think, but it does have the other meaning too, so I think it might be better better to use 'rooster'.

I'm not sure but I think perhaps you mean 'deny' instead of 'refuse'?
(St Peter denied knowing Jesus I believe)

I think 'negar' can mean both 'to deny' as 'to refuse' in Spanish, correct?
I've looked rooster up in a dictionary and it said that it was "gallo" in AmE. I've seen also cock and cockerel. Now I'm not sure what's the word for BrE.

Yes, I should use "deny", but as I was going to use "deny" later, I was looking for a synonymous to avoid redundancy.
