The literal translation if you notice is in the references. However in English, the literal meaning of a rooster on a pile of manure has no meaning in English (It's like if I told a non-native English speaker "between a rock and a hard place" or "needle in a haystack", idioms aren't universal) thus it's paraphrased to something that makes actual sense in English (essentially saying one is nothing).
