Description
An adult male chicken is called a rooster and an adult female is called a hen. Gallic Roosters are larger, usually more brightly colored, and have larger combs on top of their heads compared to hens. Hens lay up to 240 eggs in a year. For many people, the rooster symbolizes bravery, boldness and virility as he defends the flock. The connection with the rooster as symbol of France in particular may quite simply stem from the similarity of the Latin words for cock (gallus) and inhabitant of Gaul (gallicus), now known as France.
