These four Roosters were previously located at Magic Forest in Lake George. There were many other statues there. In 2018, the owner sold off most of the statues at the park. The taller and the brown statues were the classic type. The two smaller, goofier smooth type are much rarer. Some other examples are described at this page. [map]
