When he was a "she," she was Dolley, after Dolley Madison (all my hens are first ladies). But since he's a he, we changed it to James Madison. Though he usually goes by "Jimmy."
My Roosters official name is Edwin, my DH's middle name. DH isn't able to remember names, so I thought it would help if the Roo actually had his middle name.
Nasty, arent I? And we call him Mr. Ed.
ps. He's a Black Sex Link and a very good rooster. He's always on the lookout for the gals. But if they go out in this snow, then they're on their own.... he doesn't want any part of the stuff.

Well his name was Leghorn but the kids kept calling him Buddy so long that it rubbed off on me. He is a Black Sex Link and he had a white leghorn partner called Foghorn but he had to hit the dusty trail cause he was meaner than a rattler.
