Rooster crowing contest

A rooster crowing contest is just simple old-fashioned fair fun. And it's surprisingly compelling as the birds trade outbursts back and forth.



James Stafford, 12, of Molalla, had the loudest bird in the contest. Ooster, his Plymouth Bard Rock belted out 17 crows in 10 minutes.



But Eve Hallock, 12, of Wilsonville won the contest. Glamorgan, her Blue Light Brown Dutch let out 19 somewhat quieter crows. Eve and Glamorgan won last year too, with 22 crows.
