One of the most long-held urban legends in existence has to do with the distinctive "cock-a-doodle-doo" of a cock. Popular belief has it that cocks crow only at daybreak http://www.clippersprostore.com/ , ostensibly to wake up farmers and other early risers. A number of readers -- denizens of the city, no doubt -- probably think that this tale is actually true.

Sorry to inform to the contrary, but the tale isn't entirely true. While cock crowing usually does begin at the break of dawn, it can, and often does, continue throughout the day -- and the reason it happens has absolutely nothing to do with functioning as a feathered alarm clock. In actuality the piercing, high-pitched call serves as a warning to other barnyard roosters Cheap Los Angeles Clippers Jerseys , to attract hens and as a general warning signal.

How this legend got started is a matter of historical debate, but one of the earliest references to the fowl and its shrill cry can be traced back to Greek mythology. According to the myth, Alectryon -- the old Greek word for "rooster" -- was a youth who was ordered by Ares, the God of War, to stand guard outside his door while the he carried on an adulterous dalliance with goddess Aphrodite. Unfortunately for him, Alectryon fell asleep at his post, and Helios http://www.clippersprostore.com/kids-wesley-johnson-clippers-jersey/ , the Sun God, caught the amorous couple. In wrath, Ares turned Alectryon into a rooster, which always remembers to announce the sun's arrival in the morning.

Other tales have sprung up around the noisy bird: in old central European folk tales Lucifer is believed to flee at the first crowing of a rooster. A medieval myth posits that the Basilisk, a giant snake who kills with a single glance and is hatched by a toad from a hen's egg, will perish instantly if it hears a cock crowing.

In todays world, even business tools like online Yellow Pages sport the name rooster as it remains a widespread commercial name http://www.clippersprostore.com/kids-tobias-harris-clippers-jersey/ , for businesses from poultry processing plants to retail chicken establishments.

Chickens are both entertaining and useful to keep. They are inexpensive to raise and they earn their rent by laying eggs for you. Checking at random through local laws around the country, it is interesting to note how they deal with keeping them:

Portland, OR: Three hens allowed without a permit, but no roosters. Santa Rosa, CA: May have 25 chickens per 20,000 square feet. Corvallis, OR: Unlimited chickens allowed http://www.clippersprostore.com/kids-shai-gilgeous-alexander-clippers-jersey/ , but no roosters. Topeka, KS: Unlimited chickens allowed, but they must be penned 50 feet from any neighbors house. Seattle, WA: Can have a total of three small animals, more if the lot is large. Burlington, VT: Up to 3 fowl per household. Austin, TX: Up to 10 fowl per household http://www.clippersprostore.com/kids-sam-dekker-clippers-jersey/ , but must be kept in enclosure that's 50' away from neighbors. Boston, MA: All residential zones in Boston forbid "auxiliary keeping of animals", which includes poultry and other livestock.

So there you have it -- the truth about the tale of the roosters cock-a-doodle-do and its historical context, as well as some contemporary information on how various localities regulate the presence of chickens within their borders.
