Rooster (in French "coq") is the national symbol of the France.
The origin of it (thanks Wikipedia) is the latin word for "rooster" is "gallus", and the "Gaule" (ancestor of France) was "Gallia" in latin.
Nowadays, French recognize the symbol of the rooster because of the agricultural, traditionnal symbol of a farm animal, and also as the "pride" seems a characteristic of this animal.
A joke of a died French humorist (Coluche) : "French are not very good at sport. Do you know why the chosed rooster as their emblema ? Because it is the only bird which can sing with the feet in the ****"

Ok, well from what my friends in France have told me. The French are called roosters because that is their national animal. Le Coq mascott can often been seen at national 'football' games.
... So they tell me

Tradionally, we are called this, actually Roostres! because we have a bad, unfair reputation of sitting on the fence, the sidelines...watching people go to war....giving us, branding us as cowards. As in world war 11, when our nation was divided, 90% of us helped th nazis, for survival and the other 10% were resistance fighters.
