Expert Answer
There is no scientific reason behind using a cock (rooster) for a weather vane.
But, historically the cock is an emblem of St. Peter. So, pope Gregory I ordered to put cock as an emblem of christianity and it has been used since then.
Nowadays though a simple arrow is placed to indicate wind direction or an anemometer is placed on the arrow.
