Quick stylistic note:  That bird has very small wings, compared to  
both birds of the same type and other birds in the same posture in  
period emblazons.  (They're pretty small for a real chicken, too, but  
that's less important here.)  Consider the examples I've attached.

I doubt it'd get the submission returned, but it does make the device  
look less like the real thing.

By the way, if the desire is a cant on "Lovecock", you might mention  
that something like "Or semy of hearts gules, a cock rising gules,"  
would look more like period arms, and would convey the concept of  
chicken love at least as effectively.
