A Chanticleer is like a Gamecock, but better!

How appropriate:

"Chanticleer" is taken from the high-rent literary district of Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales," described in the Nun's Priest Tale as a proud and fierce rooster who dominates the barnyard. Chaucer wrote of the bird: "For crowing there was not his equal in all the land. His voice was merrier than the merry organ that plays in church, and his crowing from his resting place was more trustworthy than a clock. His comb was redder than fine coral and turreted like a castle wall, his bill was black and shone like a jet, and his legs and toes were like azure. His nails were whiter than the lily and his feathers were like burnished gold. With all of his splendor and great looks, Chanticleer is also greatly feared and mightily respected by all."

Thanks for posting that. I haven’t read Chaucer in a long time. It begs the question ... what isn’t better than a gamecock?
