Re: Does the Cockerel have a name?

[Margaret Stokes <milamba@labyrinth.net.au>]

Well I just have to pipe up here and let everyone know that Chanticleer is 
the name of our Newsletter here in Australia (which will be coming out in 
March) :):)

And of course, Chanticleer is something of a "nickname" (I believe) for a 
cockerel or rooster - and we all know what the Clan Crest is, don't we! 
:)  So I'd say you're onto something there Iain!

Happy hunting!

Margaret :)
