?why is the rooster the most popular design for a weather vein?

Question

hahahahah i need to win a bet

Answer 1

Actually the most popular design for a weather design is no design at all.

Many modern buildings (most larger ones) have weather veins as it is.  These are just simple rods.

As far as the ones designed as a rooster, I believe them to just be a bit of nostalgic fun.

Answer 2

hahaha,  it  crows.

Answer 3

Legend has it that a papal decree ordered weather c***s to be placed on all Christian churches, in reference to Jesus' instruction to Peter, "the c**k shall not crow, 'til thou has denied me thrice."
