RISE EARLIER THAN THE ROOSTER
Roosters are male chickens.
They are typically larger and more brightly coloured than female chickens, known as hens.


They are diurnal animals and are most active during the day.
Roosters have excellent eyesight and can see colours that are invisible to humans.
Like many animals, roosters have an internal biological clock known as a circadian rhythm.

This internal clock is finely tuned to changes in light, allowing them to anticipate sunrise with surprising accuracy.
Roosters are social animals and are influenced by the behaviour of others in their group.
If one rooster in the neighbourhood has an internal clock that’s set a little early, he can stimulate other roosters to crow early too.


Roosters are known for their distinctive crowing.
The rooster's crowing is a complex vocalisation that can convey various messages to other chickens and humans.

The crowing is a way of establishing his dominance and presence
When a rooster crows, he’s sending a signal to other roosters that this is his territory, and if they trespass, they’re asking for a fight.

The rooster is known for its early morning crowing, often signaling the break of dawn.
It’s one of the earliest risers in the animal kingdom, starting its day while most others are still asleep. When we say “Rise earlier than the rooster,” it’s a call to embrace the discipline and benefits of waking up early.
