A rooster, also called a cock or chanticleer, is a male chicken.  The female is called a hen. The rooster crows at the break of dawn and will almost always start crowing before 4 weeks of age. He is often pictured sitting on fence posts or other objects, where he crows to proclaim his territory. This is only part of the story, as roosters can and will crow at any time of the day. Some roosters are especially vociferous, crowing almost constantly, while others only crow a few times a day. These differences are dependent both upon the cock's breed and individual personality.

The two most famous roosters are the Kellogg Corn Flakes Rooster and Foghorn Leghorn of Warner Brothers. The rooster has also been a staple of country décor for ages. Let our rooster Christmas ornaments and Christmas decorations add a little country spice to your holiday.
