>Why is the symbol of France a chicken?
Why aren't we the country that makes chicken meat and sells it to the rest of the world?
That's what a French political cartoonist, Christophe Mounier, who likes to draw pictures of French people making chicken, decided to ask French parliamentarians in a popular column in the Paris Review. And now, the debate has gone viral.
"I thought it was a great point," says Mounier. "I thought maybe it could be interesting to the citizens of France."
That idea caught fire. "By some freak of history, the symbol of Paris is the red, orange and yellow chicken," writes one of the people who called him out on his choice of metaphor.
"A French cartoonist is, in a way, showing the whole point of our culture," says Mounier, who also writes a column for the weekly newspaper L'Humanité titled "The French."

Why is coq spelled like that in French? Apparently the etymology is coccus in Latin and it used to be spelled coc in French before this inexplicable coq spelling.

It's a wordplay between Gallus(gauls) and gallus(rooster). Enemies of France used to make fun of French people with it, but one of our kings decided to embrace it because the rooster is a strong Christian symbol. It became an unofficial symbol of France, and is nowadays used as a mascot by our sports teams and such, but never by the state as they prefer Marianne.
Henry Bell
if you want the real answer it's because the gauls thought that each day roosters would bring back the sun from the land of the night with their songs. So basically it represents the hope of a new day or some shit like that

Because its derivatives use q, like coquet, coquereau
