Cockerel Gifts

A rooster (also called a cock or chanticleer) is a male chicken, the female being called a hen. Immature male chickens of less than a year's age are called cockerels. The oldest term is "cock", from Old English coc. But because "cock" is often used as a slang term referring to the penis, this term is generally avoided for the sake of both propriety and clarity, although it remains accurate. It is replaced by synonyms: "cockerel" (which properly refers to a young male chicken) in the United Kingdom, and "rooster" (a relative neologism) in North America and Australia. We have a wide selection of cockerel and hen merchandise including cockerel cushions, hen cushions, cockerel and hen draught excluders and cockerel wall hangings.

"Roosting" is the action of perching aloft to sleep at night, and is actually done by both sexes. The cockerel is polygamous, but cannot guard several nests of eggs at once. He guards the general area where his hens are nesting, and will attack other cockerels who enter his territory. During the daytime, he often sits on a high perch, usually 4'5 feet off the ground, to serve as a lookout for his flock. He will sound a distinctive alarm call if predators are nearby.

The cockerel is often (accurately) pictured in art as crowing at the break of dawn. He can often be seen sitting on fence posts or other objects, where he crows to proclaim his territory. However, a cockerel might crow at any time of day, if he looks into the sun - even sometimes on a bright moonlit night. He has several other calls as well, and can cluck the same as a hen. Cockerels will occasionally make a pattern following clucking sound to attract hens to a source of food.
