Yeah, but in some countries they can't say "cock" so they use "rooster" as a euphemism. The Victorians are still with us. — Preceding unsigned comment added by METRANGOLO1 (talkcontribs) 18:34, 28 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

What about "Gallic cock"? edit

I've always heard it called the "Gallic cock", such as is referred to by the article on Postage stamps and postal history of Algeria and in the Stanley Gibbons stamp catalogue. I think there should be a redirect from "Gallic cock" to "Gallic rooster" (or vice versa), but I have no idea how to set that up. Raichu2 (talk) 02:51, 28 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Unofficial? edit

> The Gallic rooster (French: le coq gaulois) is an unofficial national symbol of France

The gallic rooster was featured in very large size on the post-1906 design french 20 gold franc coins, which was official issue of the republic. Many dozens of millions were minted, as part of the Latin Monetary Union. That makes it official. 87.97.103.4 (talk) 09:11, 31 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Needs background on why the rooster should also be a symbol of Wallonia edit

It's as if the Walloons see themselves as an offshoot of France. So cringeworthy and NWO. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.0.183.116 (talk) 01:37, 14 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
