Name That Rooster

by 30 Comments

When I ordered chicks this spring, I only ordered one new rooster. But because it was cold, they sent me 4 or 5 extras. It wasn’t all bad because I got to choose the one I’d like to keep to become my new flock rooster as Diablo ages.

It is bad now though because they’re all acting like a bunch of teenage boys on steroids, showing off their egos and what not, terrorizing not only each other but the girls. It’s time for a rooster massacre and they’re just about the right size for eating, so whoever wants to come kill ’em and clean ’em can have ’em.

But in the meantime, I’ve got a new flock rooster without a name and I’ve honestly no idea where to start, so I figured I’d leave that up to you, as you guys are a creative bunch!

I’ll leave this contest open for a week. Whoever names the rooster (I’ll of course choose the name I like the best) will win the following print below. I may even have it printed as an 11×14 canvas for you, since I made it look like an oil painting!

You’ll need to leave your name choice in the comments below. And yes, you’re welcome to enter as many times as you’d like!

Happy Trails and Good Luck!

About ~The South Dakota Cowgirl~

Jenn Zeller is the creative mind and boss lady behind The South Dakota Cowgirl. She is an aspiring horsewoman, photographer, brilliant social media strategist and lover of all things western.

After a brief career in the investment world to support her horse habit (and satisfy her mother, who told her she had to have a “real” job after graduating college), she finally took the leap and stepped away from a regular income; trading the business suit once and for all for cowgirl boots, a hat, and jeans. She has not looked back.

When Jenn first moved to The DX Ranch on the South Dakota plains, she never imagined she’d find herself behind a camera lens capturing an authentic perspective of ranching, and sharing it with others. Jenn has always been called to artistry, and uses music, writing, images, home improvement, and her first true love of horses to express her ranching passion.

Horses are the constant thread and much of her work centers around using her unique style of writing to share her horsemanship journey with others in publications such as CavvySavvy, the AQHA Ranching Blog, the West River Eagle, the family ranch website, and her own website.

Using photography to illustrate her stories has created other opportunities -- Jenn’s brand “The South Dakota Cowgirl” has grown to the level of social media “Influencer”. This notoriety has led to work with Duluth Trading Company, Budweiser, Wyoming Tourism, Vice, Circle Z Ranch and Art of the Cowgirl, to name a few. She also serves as a brand ambassador for Woodchuck USA, Arenus Equine Health, Triple Crown Feed and Just Strong fitness apparel. Her photography has been featured by Instagram, Apple, TIME Magazine, The Huffington Post, and Oprah Magazine. Jenn’s work has been published internationally, has been seen in several books and has graced the covers of several magazines.

Jenn became a social media influencer by accident when she started to explore Instagram as a way to share her life on the ranch with folks that don’t get to experience it. It’s grown into an incredible platform that she uses to empower women, create an environment for self improvement and share life on the ranch.

When she’s not working, she loves to drink coffee, play with her naughty border collie named Copper, start ranch colts, and run about the country chasing cans. Her mother still thinks she doesn’t have a “real” job.

Give your horse or dog, or cat the gift of mobility.

    I think that you should name him “Duke” after John Wayne’s nickname since ‘The Duke’ played Rooster Cogburn. 🙂
