Weird name but overall a fighting rooster is a pretty damn mean animal.
We derived our name from General Thomas Sumter, of Revolutionary War fame here in South Carolina, who's nickname was "The Fighting Gamecock," because of his tenacious fearless style and because he wore Gamecock feathers in the brim of his hat in battle.
