Rooster language

[FeatherstoneFrm]

Is there an article somewhere that might explain rooster language. Not just body language but also sounds. The clucking and clicking, the growl and the soft purr sound.
If I can interpret his language, I might be better able to deal with his behavior.

Since it’s such a long one I just picked the words right out of the article
Are roosters good watchouts/defense?
Roosters depending on age,health,and its self can be great watch outs and some can even be great defense.Although their not likely to kill a fox or coyote they can surprisingly slow them down so the hens can get to safety.A rooster has a better chance of fighting a falcon or hawk off then any ground predators.Infact,A falcon flew over an my rooster just sat there looking at it and sounding the alarm,very unbothered.All chickens use a sound called a trill which can also sound like a huge loud SQUAWK.Roosters usually have an over dramatic trill which can also sound like a sqrawk type sound,you’d have to see/hear it to believe it,they sound like a whole zoo when a bird goes fly across or a ball goes flying across the yard.Chickens also use certain eye contacts and different behaviors such as bawking or running stiffly almost like an ostrich to alert other birds.When one bird does this usually a few seem to follow suite and head for cover,atleast I have noticed that in my hens and roosters.
Roosters are a good addition if you free range.When free ranging my hens follow my rooster like a puppy.

This was some great info. I noticed my Serama rooster calling the kids over for food and I had never seen a rooster actually parent before.
