“Schmuck cluck”.

Funny!!

Birdbrain

Soon to be a chicken dinner.

I’d throw my alarm clock at it, pronto.

Forget it – “Cock-a-doodle-don’t.”

He really wanted to grow up to be a night owl.

To borrow a line…

If the people don’t find you funny, they should at least find you tasty.

With apologies to Red Green

Poor trainee, so cluckin frustrated!

When roosters go off half cocked.

My buddy bought a house in the country for some peace and quiet. Turns out his new neighbors have roosters. And I thought barking dogs were bad, lol.

Young roosters really are funny when they are starting to learn how to crow.

Now you’re the elephent in the room.

Yabba-Dabba Do!

One year when I was a kid my parents bought 100 one day old male chickens (roosters). As they got older they started to learn to crow. They really do have to learn how to crow. It really is one of the funniest thing to hear and not much different than Whiteheads depiction.

Your fired, with an orange sauce glaze.

In one of the sublime old “King Aroo” strips, the rooster character comes down with laryngitis, which is serious because then the sun doesn’t come up in the morning. (You didn’t know that, I bet.) A locum-tenens is quickly found, but he turns out to be a chick, whose crowing is rendered as “Peep-a-deedle-dee”. It barely gets the sun over the horizon.

The rooster crowed “Cock-a-doodle-doo”.And the hen replied “Any-ole-Cock-ill-doo”
