Foghorn. Because of his loud voice.

A foghorn is a big loud, well, horn...

And a Leghorn is a kind of chicken.

Leghorn chickens are from Livorno in Italy which is apparently
anglicised as "Leghorn", at which point I run out of explanations.

Gotta say, though, Ben, it didn't _look_ like a joke...
