Ivar will tell you that Roosters say, "Cock-loo-da-doo"
Roosters begin Cock-loo-da-doing as early as 4:12 in the morning.
But Roosters don't just Cock-loo-da-doo when the sun comes up. They do it all day long. Maybe even 7:12 pm. Just because they can. And truthfully, if you're not trying to sleep, it is sort of a cool background sound for our little farm.
Roosters are hard to photograph, as are all chickens. To get these shots I was laying in the grass, trying to coax them my way by calling their names, "Almonzo, over here. Look at me, Hamburger."
Roosters are so cool looking. I really like them. And their waddle is so wiggly. Their tail feathers are beautiful and their combs are awesome.
All that said, if you're looking for a rooster, ours our listed on craigslist. You know, for the people who need a 4:12 alarm clock. Or a chicken dinner.

I just saw my parents this week and they were telling some of our friends about this post in particular. That last picture of the rooster looking startled over the chicken dinner comment is perfect. Your writing and picture taking are coupled well!
