(La Porte, IN) - A La Porte area girl had a rooster crowned a La Porte County Fair champion today.

 

Sydney Hill, 16, had a chicken that tied another chicken with 13 crows in 15 minutes during the popular competition held annually outside the Poultry Barn.

 

Her chicken then out crowed the other chicken by two crows during a two minute run off.

 

Hill said especially rewarding was her bird normally much quieter at home came from behind to win the contest.

 

“I’m proud of him,” she said.

 

There were seven roosters in this year’s crowing competition.
