At this time a prevalent theme in his oeuvre was the cockerel, and throughout the decade Meadows would regularly produce various bronzes of this domesticated bird. It is no surprise therefore that from 1956 onwards Frink produced a handful of sculptures using her own interpretation of both the hen and cockerel. Some showed the birds prostrate and moribund whilst the present work, apparently the largest of the group and executed in 1961, depicts the bird standing proud.
