Roosters have been riding American rooflines longer than any other figure, and the 24 inch Rooster Accent weathervane is the compact version of that tradition. The bird stands upright above the arrow, with the four directionals for north, south, east and west below. It’s the one people buy for a chicken coop, a garden shed or a small barn where a full-size vane would look oversized.

Recycled aluminum, cast in the USA

Every part of this piece is cast from recycled aluminum, so it will not rust. That’s the whole argument for aluminum on a roof: it sits through rain, snow and salt spray without going orange. The casting is then covered with an all-weather protective coating and sold with a five-year warranty.

The 24 inch Rooster Accent weathervane in Black

You get one finish here, Black, and a rooster is a case where that’s the right one. The comb, the tail and the stance all read by outline. A solid dark color keeps that outline crisp against sky or shingles, which is how you tell a rooster from a blob at 50 feet.

Coop, shed or garage

The 24 inch Rooster Accent weathervane is meant for small structures. On a chicken coop it’s almost expected. On a garden shed it’s a small joke that people get. If you want one for a real barn or a two-story house, the 30 inch Rooster Accent weathervane carries farther from the road.

A 24 inch Rooster Accent weathervane isn’t personalized, so there’s nothing to check before ordering. The other farm figures, including the Horse and the Tractor, are on our weathervanes page. For a bird that shows up at ground level, the cast bird feeders are made the same way.
