Origin
The rooster is the male of the hen.
It belongs to the genus Galus galus domesticus.
Food
Like the chicken, the rooster is not a demanding bird to eat. They usually eat leftovers from the kitchen (cabbage stalks, tomatoes, apples, etc.).
They also feed on bread, bran, corn, wheat, grass, lettuce, and more.
Description
The rooster is usually larger than the hen. It has a sharp beak and can be recognized by its colorful plumage, crest, more pronounced red chin or larger tail.
The rooster is a polygamous male and has a strong instinct to defend the females in his group, especially when they hatch eggs. Aggressive specimens have been used in cockfighting over time.
The rooster is a bird that is used to singing early in the morning.
There are several breeds of roosters, some of them are Ohiki, Totenko, Kurokashiwa, and others.
Reproduction
The rooster and the hen reproduce by eggs. The hen is the one who hatches the eggs and takes care of the chickens.
After about 21 days more fluffy chickens emerge from the eggs.
