Incidentally, posting has been/is/will be sporadic for a bit during the transition to a summer routine...Apologies if this is the first site you visit each morning (smirk!)...
The well-respected Christian Science Monitor traces the history of the "Coq Gaulois," reporting that it preserves its pristine nature:
That history goes back a long way - to Roman times, say breeders, when one of Julius Caesar's companions wrote a description of the cockerels he found in the farmyards of ancient Gaul that corresponds exactly to the way the Gallic Cock looks today.Oh, so many smarmy jokes beckon, but I shall avoid them all..."It is the only race that has developed naturally without ever being crossed by breeders," says Gresselin, looking on indulgently as his rooster flaps its way onto the gate of its coop and hops down into a meadow beyond the chicken wire. "It's the original wild animal."
Must....not....laugh....
Must....not....crack dirty jokes....
