AI overview

A rooster is a male chicken, which is the domesticated bird commonly raised on farms and in homes for its eggs, meat, and other products. Roosters are notable for their loud crowing calls, particularly at dawn, and play an important role in chicken flocks by fertilizing eggs and sometimes protecting the group.
