A rooster is a male chicken, and all 150 or so breeds of domesticated chickens come from the jungle fowl of southeast Asia. A rooster can be distinguished from a hen by his longer tail and longer comb. They do crow in the mornings, but they may crow at any time of day.
History:
Roosters have been domesticated for thousands of years, but somewhat more recently, they’ve taken a place atop weather vanes, which perhaps seems curious. The story goes back around 2000 years to the time of Jesus Christ, when he declared that one of his followers, Peter, would deny him three times before the rooster crowed. Fast forward 900 years, and the pope declared that churches should have a rooster attached to their steeples as a reminder of this prophecy.
