Gullinkambi is a rooster (chicken) who lives in Valhalla whose crowling is foretold to signify the beginning of the events of Ragnarok.
In total there are 3 roosters, the other 2 are called Fjalar, a forest in Jotunheim, land of the jötnar, from which the rooster Fjalar is foretold to begin crowing during the onset of Ragnarok.
According to stanza 42 of the poem Völuspá from the Poetic Edda:
He sat on the mound and plucked his harp the herdsman of the giantess
and an unnamed soot-red rooster in Hel
