Rooster

Description:	Chickens are domestic birds. The adult female chicken is called a hen, the adult male is called a rooster, and the young are called chicks. There are many different breeds of chicken that are different sizes and colors. The rooster is larger and more brightly colored than the hen; he also has a larger comb (the fleshy red crest on the top of the chickens head). Roosters make a very loud crowing sound and can be quite aggressive. Chicken eggs range in color from white to pale brown and other pale colors. Chickens eat insects, worms, fruit, seeds, acorns, grains, slugs, snails and many other foods. They have a well-developed gizzard (a part of the stomach that contains tiny stones) that grinds up their food.
