Rooster types of breeds?

Here is just some basic info I looked up on the net..

Rooster From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search For other uses, see Rooster (disambiguation).

A rooster Rooster crowing at sunriseA rooster, also called a cok or chanticleer is a male chicken (Gallus gallus), the female being called a hen. They do not have a dominant foot. Immature male chickens of less than a year’s age are called cokerels. The oldest term is “cok”, from Old English coc It is sometimes replaced by the term “cokerel” (which properly refers to a young male chicken) in the United Kingdom, and almost always by “rooster” (a relative neologism) in North America and Australia. “Cok” is in general use as the name for a male of other species of bird, for example “Co*k sparrow”. “Roosting” is the action of perching aloft to sleep at night, and is actually done by both sexes. The rooster 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 roosters 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 rooster is often (accurately) portrayed as crowing at the break of dawn and will almost always start crowing before 4 weeks of age. He can often be seen sitting on fence posts or other objects, where he crows to proclaim his territory.

However, this idea is more romantic than real, as a rooster can and will crow at any time of the day. Some roosters are especially vociferous, crowing almost constantly, while others only crow a few times a day. These differences are dependent both upon the co*k’s breed and individual personality.

He has several other calls as well, and can cluck, similar to the hen. Roosters will occasionally make a patterned series of clucks to attract hens to a source of food, the same way a mother hen does for her chicks.
