I don't think anyone's answered this question yet, so I will. The roosters are a 
clue to the monster in the Chamber. The rooster's cry is fatal to basilisks, so 
Tom Riddle had Ginny kill all the roosters so the basilisk wouldn't be killed 
when it roamed around the school at night.

I agree with the person who said the crossbow scene was intriguing. Just 
what was Hagrid expecting? I thought maybe dementors, but a crossbow 
woudn't hurt them, would it?
