Yes! Because it's just a fact of life but people don't like to hear that!
PEOPLE do not want to say the word Cock as if it is some nasty filthy word...Not so, what is filthy is their minds !!!
A Cock is a, full grown, over 1 year old poultry Fowl...MALE....Guinea, Quail, Chicken, Pea Fowl, or Chucker......................one that is 1 yr of age and male is a cock...as is a male Robin, Chickadee or any other song bird.
How about Cocker Spaniel, Cokapoo ? A Cocktail ?
How about a cockapoo and a cocker spaniel walk into a cocktail bar......and order a cocktail where they listened to Joe Cocker on the juck box played by a cockatoo named Larry.
The name of a Farm animal (Ram, Bull, Cock, Hen, Pullet, Swan, Keet, etc etc etc..............is not a DIRTY WORD these are necessary words to describe an animal...............and cannot be removed from a poultry conversation, nor a poultry lifestyle.
