The text states that roosters have a hierarchy and the top rooster calls first at dawn.
The claims regarding rooster behavior are partially supported by evidence. Roosters do indeed establish a hierarchy in a flock, with the dominant rooster assuming the top position. This is supported by multiple sources confirming the existence of a pecking order among chickens including roosters. However, the claim that the highest-ranking rooster calls first at dawn lacks strong evidence. While roosters crow to communicate dominance, there is no consensus that only the highest-ranking rooster calls first. Roosters crow due to circadian rhythms affecting all roosters similarly.

Animal Behavior
It is the privilege of the highest-ranking rooster to call first at dawn.
While roosters crowing at dawn is a common behavior, web evidence does not specifically support the claim that only the highest-ranking rooster does so first. Crowing is influenced by internal circadian rhythms applicable to all roosters equally.
