All chickens are not created equal. In fact, depending
on where those chickens live, they even make different sounds. Anyone
who has ever spent the night in a hilltribe village will know that the
roosters start crowing even before the crack of dawn. But how many
people have noticed that each rooster speaks only the language of his
village. That's what we are here for. Our crack research team has
recorded roosters from each village (with Thai and American roosters
thrown in for contrast) so that when you are in northern Thailand and a
rooster starts talking to you, at least you know what language he is
speaking.
