Rooster (Gallus gallus domesticus)

What a fine, proud and all too rarely encountered bird the Rooster is.

The kind of bird a lot of people might admire from a distance but not want to share a flat with.

Personally, I love the crowing, morning noon or night.

Perhaps not all three though :-)

Let's see what he's got to crow about?

Lol they are such weird birds when you think about it. We get too accustomed to them to realize how odd they really are. Posted 3 years ago

  There's something supremely confident and ....cocky, about them.
  
  They will fight anything to protect the flock.

We're splitting the native chicken species from the domesticated one, hence the re-identification. Posted one year ago

The Domestic Chicken

The chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) is a domesticated junglefowl species, with attributes of wild species such as the grey and the Ceylon junglefowl that are originally from Southeastern Asia. Rooster or cock is a term for an adult male bird, and a younger male may be called a cockerel. A male that has been castrated is a capon. An adult female bird is called a hen and a sexually immature female is called a pullet.
