The Clare Rooster stands in front of Bob's Lounge. The Metamora Rooster stands in front of a private residence on Route 24. The Lake George Roosters are just some of the many giant statues at Magic Forest. This is the first giant brown rooster that I know of. Note the goofier style of the first and fourth rooster shown here. They are evidently a much rarer type (other examples: Tumacacori, AZ and Kalona, IA). The Tumacacori Rooster has now been transformed into a Rooster-lope. |

The chicken head has been installed on this 1969 Dodge pick-up since the mid-1970s. It features a voicebox to make clucking sounds. There was a tail in back until at least 2007.
