What's Your Chickens names and Why are they named that? - Page 2

post #11 of 205

Not all the hens have specific names, but 3 do:
Miss Adventure - the escape artist and backyard explorer, you never know where you're going to find her
Miss Mouthy - is always "talking", regardless of the situation
Nike - the fastest, the first one that makes it across the lawn to the flower bed when they are let out of the run to free range

Only some have names

Ellis-  Lone Surviving Delaware--L.S. == Ellis
Butternut--Buff Orpington--color related--I may call any of the 3 by this name, I cant tell them apart smile
Chicken Liver-- Partridge rock who is scared of his own shadow
Midnight--Black Austrolorp --Color related -- The named one has white eyeshadow.  I wonder when she will loose that.

I am so proud of my babies, they are about 6 or 7 weeks old and now have 2 2day olds too.

BO are

Buck the roo
Goldielocks because she is so gold
Edna for my Grandma
Elvis for my kids Grandma (she specifically asked my kids to name one Elvis for her)

Ameraucaunas are   

Jellybean
Eskimo  these two just because
Scratch because that's all she does
KFC  because I think he might be a roo, and if he is, is destined for the pot.

the 2  2 day olds are not named yet

Sadly at this time I have no chicks.    My family had to move and we could not bring them with us.  But I am hoping to get some chicks this spring.

I have a 11-month-old white bantam cochin, I called her Betty White, mostly because she looks old and shes white and she is smaller than a softball! I have another fancy,a sultan, which I immediently called pip before I even saw her. My mistake, I should have called her cookoo...........she is as dumb as a doorknob!!lol

2 australian shepards, 3 cats, 3 quarter horses, 1 shetland pony, 23 layers, a sultan, and a few more fancies to come!! Go bucks!

Fuzzy Apple is the name of my White Silkie Rooster. My ds was in an I love apples phase and named many things apple during that period. I was able to convince him to put the word Fuzzy infront of it so my chicken was not confused with my produce lol

Best darn kid in the world, and some great fowl too.

My barred rocks are:

Madonna - I don't know why, because I could! big_smile
Star-Had a star shaped marking on her forehead when she was a chick
Tiger-Thought it was a male, so we named it Tiger.  Later, it was a hen, so it was rechristened Tiger Lilly
Jesse-A discrepensy between our household that Jesse could fit either a hen or a rooster.  (She is a hen!(

No names for the Silkies, or the orpingtons or the polish.  Other people have named them, but I don't pay attention! lol

I haven't actually named my chickens, the current dominant rooster gets referred to as "Mr Studly" which the name rotates to the next rooster as time and circumstance dictates. The Missus didn't think my labeling the nest-boxes very funny--- baked, fried, BBQ, stewed,  & steamed.

Just a old coot with some backyard chickens and a garden.

My EE x silkie hen is Sookie because I LLLLOOOOOVVVVEEEE the show True Blood & its the name of a main character, & I think its just a cute name. Then we have a silkie hen named Pippie. Pippie was the name of a Polish we had that looked like Pippie Longstocking with long legs & reddish coloring. But turned out to be a rooster, so brought him back & got the silkie & the name just stuck. I'll also call her Tippie because she like to stand on her tippy toes. love

My love, Sookie.  I will always miss & love you.  Forever in my heart.  RIP 7/16/09 - 5/30/10
