    Supermarket eggs versus Home girly eggs

    Rooster name ..

    My feathered lovely girls are called 'Back, Sac, Crack and Brazillian' ... I have been promised a Cockeral as a birthday present and need a name in keeping with the girls and 'Cocky' seems the only obvious one I can think of .. Any ideas ....
