The Walking Rooster featured above, center, was made in the Extra-Large (four-foot) size and now sits atop a large Casino in Southern California. This particular vane was made entirely in copper, which is a very traditional way of constructing weathervanes. Copper is the material of choice in weathervane making as it is non-ferrous, which means it will not rust. Copper also has the advantage of developing a beautiful and distinctive patina over time. It was only during the Victorian Age that weathervane makers started adding accents of gold leaf. Depending on your preferences, your weathervane can be made in all copper, a combination of copper and brass or with optional gold leafed accents

A cock is a male chicken, the female being a hen. A young cock is called a rooster or a cockerel. The term "rooster" is reputedly so used because the cock is said to roost over clutches of eggs to guard them. In fact, "roosting" is the action of perching aloft to sleep at night, and is done by both sexes. The cock is non-monogamous, and can guard several nests of eggs at once. He guards the general area where his hens are nesting, and will attack other roosters who enter his territory. During the daytime, he often sits on a high perch, usually 4-5 feet off the ground, to serve as a lookout for his flock. He will sound a distinctive alarm call if predators are nearby.

At the time the order is placed, a deposit of 1/3 is due. Upon receipt of the deposit, time will be reserved in our schedule. The balance is due when the weather vane has been completed and prior to shipping. Deposits can be made with Visa, MasterCard or check.

Because we specialize in custom copper weathervanes, we can make different breeds of chickens, depending on our client's preferences. The Phoenix Bantam Rooster weathervane pictured above was made for a breeder. These roosters can grown tails that are up to six feet long! The customer who commissioned this weathervane ordered it in the small size and put it on top of her chicken coop. We could certainly do other chicken breeds such as Ancona, Araucana, Leghorn, Rhode Island Red and Plymouth Rock chickens to name but a few.
