I'm renowned in the village, the region, the World

for something impressive, once it's been unfurled

a commending citation it fills me with pride

a sound reputation as long as is wide

true clear recognition, a plaudit so fine

as others seem poultry when measured by mine

I've grown it, I've shown it, I've reared it by hand

been invited to take it all over the land

indebted it's fetted and praised with delight

famed and proclaimed as a beautiful sight

I perhaps shouldn't crow but it's best in the morn

distinct male symbol of colourful dawn

productive, providing the finest seed stock

I sit back and marvel at my wondrous cock!

Hahahahahaha. Loved this one immensely. Perfect rhythm. I'm having an internal argument over whether paltry would have been better than poultry but can't decide so defer to your decision!
