Every Chinese New Year, I and my sister would swap some tokens of the Chinese animals in the Chinese zodiac. This year is the year of the fire rooster. So the past 2 weeks, I and my sister went around in every department stores to buy the rooster.
We saw in a department store this big gold-plated rooster but it was costly. We cannot afford it (we prefer the small ones only). So today, no rooster tokens for each of us.
The picture I attached here are the animals in the Chinese zodiac but the rooster is not present. I hope to buy one for the house, and even for my sister.
Do you have a rooster? We don't have...

If you can visit the trade fair here in Vigan City, you can find sculpted roosters from wood.

us too, there are many live roosters at the backyard, but what i am pointing out is a small rooster token like the ones in the picture, to signify the year of the fire rooster.

@ridingbet No, I don't want those. They gather dust. I am so lazy wiping out the dust from those. So, better not have them.

@ridingbet I don't know if it's a fire rooster, but my mother had them. I'd give it to you if I could.

we usually find these tokens in Chinese stores, because it is in their culture to have these animals for the Chinese Zodiac signs.

@thelme55 hahaha! i am laughing out loud here. so, that is the sound of a "nagbibinatang tandang" ( a spring rooster or adolescent rooster) .maybe the neck of the rooster in your alarm is short that is why it is kikiriki.
in the Ybanag dialect, there is a skin disease termed as "kiniriki" or scabies. i thought i read the kikiriki as kiniriki.

We don't collect Chinese animals or figurines. Does it works for good luck? Search for other places and hope you find a rooster to complete your collection. They are cute
