American Toby Jug Museum 

Rooster toby jug produced by Keele Street Pottery of Tunstall, England, circa 1950. A rooster is an adult male chicken, which is a domesticated junglefowl species. People now keep chickens primarily as a source of food and as pets. Traditionally they were also bred for cockfighting, which is still practiced in some places. The rooster's long tail feathers form the handle of the jug.
