roosters
Male barnyard fowl
Roosters is the plural of rooster, the adult male of domestic fowl—distinguished from hens by larger combs, spurs, and the crow that announces dawn.
Roosters appear in expressions about confidence and dominance: to rule the roost is to be in charge.
A rooster tail is the spray of water behind a speedboat or vehicle on wet ground.
