I had one just like that, but a Welsummer. Once, he escaped while we were at a swap and he escaped. When someone caught him, he WAILED and everyone could hear. We still did sell him though.

Lol
and nobody questioned it? I can’t even understand the post, even substituting “buff Orpington” for “butt orplington.”
No it’s because they were originally developed for cockfighting, which is kind of a game. Some of them are the oldest breeds though.
Overo, I’m afraid your PSA will fall on deaf ears.
“Roo” has three letters
“Cock” has four
“Rooster” has six
“Cockerel” has eight
“Cock-bird” has eight, plus a hyphen
People will never go for the longer spelling when they can abbreviate it.
I wonder what they do with all that time saved typing...
