National Rooster Day

It’s National Rooster Day! 

Roosters are pretty much a male chicken. Some might say all or most males are chickens… (Don’t all laugh at once!) Refering to these chickens as “roosters” originated in the United States. Male chickens that have not yet reached this level of maturity (those under one year of age) are called “cockerels,” which is where the term “cock” comes from. …Never mind, Mom!

Fun Rooster Fact: Roosters have had and continue to have much cultural and religious significance. These cultural and religious beliefs surrounding roosters ranges from tribal regions to astrological to many of the modern and traditional religions such as, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
