Hi!
Do you know the history / legend of that "small chicken"?

One pilgrim from Galicia (Spain) rising of Barcelos on pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela was accused of having stolen some silverware to an owner and sentenced to hanging. In a final appeal, requested a meeting with the judge, who was preparing to eat a roast rooster. The Galician vowed that as proof of its innocence, the rooster is raise the plate and masonry. The judge pushed the dish to the side and ignored the call.

However, when the prison was being hanged, the rooster made up and sang. The judge realized his mistake, ran to the hanging, and found that the man was innocent.

Lovelly story ahn?

I am pretty sure that this is a rooster from Portugal and it brings good fortune to its owner.
