Pic of Bojangles my blue barred cochin cockerel, what do you think?

Yoker, actually he is named after a fast food chain here in the South. When he was a chick and I didn't know what sex he was I called him Bopeep but when he got bigger and I realised he was a roo I wasn't sure if we would keep him so I tried to help the kids remember that he is always a potential dinner. Turned out that he was the nicest roo and the prettiest so we kept him. I actually call him Bo - he's only Bojangles when I am lecturing him on something, which is hardly ever. He is a very nice roo. Not exactly friendly, but good with his ladies and not aggressive with us (and I have a 2 yr old and a 6 yr old with me all the time so that is real important)

Bill Bojangles Robinson - Biography excerpt


Bill "Bojangles" Robinson (c.1878-1949), who claimed he could run backward faster than most men could go forward, was the most famous of all African American tap dancers in the twentieth century. Dancing upright and swinging, his light and exacting footwork brought tap “up on its toes” from an earlier flat-footed shuffling style, and developed the art of tap dancing to a delicate perfection.

Born Luther Robinson in Richmond, Virginia, his parents, Maria and Maxwell Robinson, died in 1885. Young Bill was reared by his grandmother, Bedilia Robinson, who had been a slave. In Richmond, he got the nickname "Bojangles" from "jangler," meaning contentious, and invented the phrase "Everything's Copasetic," meaning tip-top. He got his first professional job in 1892.
