What is a rooster?

We’re pretty sure you already know this but we thought we’d brush up some of that general knowledge anyway. A rooster is an adult male chicken. However, the term “rooster” is fairly recent and these birds were known as cocks before 1772. They are known for their very fleshy combs and high-arched tails. In some roosters, the tail can reach up to more than 30cm or 12 inches in length!

Fun rooster facts

If you have only ever thought of roosters as boring old farm animals, we’re here to encourage you to stop and think again! Roosters are actually pretty cool and extremely useful animals. Here are some fun facts about these barn birds.

  •   Various countries around the world have rooster-crowing contests! (And no, we’re absolutely not kidding.) This is literally a traditional sport in many places including Belgium and Germany!

How to draw a rooster?

This bird has been an artist’s favorite for many years. And today, you are going to learn how to draw one yourself.

Before you begin, make a guide that will serve as a reference point for when you draw. To do this, draw dotted lines with your pencil horizontally and vertically on your page, to create a sort of grid with four divisions. Alternatively, you could fold your drawing paper in half – both horizontally and vertically to create light creases which do the same thing i.e., provide you with guidelines to help while drawing.
