Roosters
A rooster, also known as a cockerel or cock, is a male chicken. Roosters are well-known for their ability to "crow" - loudly, in the morning! They have a bright red "comb" which distinguishes them from the female chicken, or hen.
We've got lots of rooster-themed activities that you can enjoy with the kids... just explore the links below.
The rooster is one of the twelve animals of the Chinese Zodiac. If your child is born in the Year of the Rooster, you might have an early waker on your hands (I know I do!) Have a look at our resources here:
