PORTRAIT OF A ROOSTER

Greetings dear friends. I am glad to participate in this week's contest. Today, I drew a portrait of a rooster using a pencil. Below are the step-by-step details of my article.

A rooster, also known as a cock is an adult male chicken. It is characterised by:

1. Comb, which is a red fleshy growth on top of its head which serves as a secondary sex characteristic to attract hens.
2. Wattle: This is the red skin found under the beak which also helps in sex display.
3. It is always larger than the hen with long tail feathers.
4. It has sharp spurs used for defence.
5. Territorial defence: A rooster is known for protecting a flock of hens.

Economic importance of rooster

1. It serves as a source of food (protein)

3. It dumb serves as a fertiliser.

Step 4
I shaded the comb of the rooster using a 6B and 10B pencil. I also shaded the eye.
