I just got 11 adorable new chickens!! 7 of them are chicks, 4 are adult seramas.

I prefer names for both genders for the silkie chicks, since they are a straight run, but if you have a really cute hen name thats fine!

Also I should note that the Star and the Welsummer are supposed to be females

Here they are:

1. My Black Star female! Not a silkie

Black Silkie

2. My buff silkie, had her eyes closed most of the time until she was 5-6 days old, now they are open

Buff Silkie

3. My white silkie, very chirpy on the day of the photo shoot!

White Silkie

4. My black silkie chick, super cute and friendly, my favorite! likes to just perch on my hand and is very quiet! Also the runt of the silkies, only like 2 inches tall at the shoulder

Black Silkie

5. My light blue silkie( could one of the blues be a splash?)

Light Blue Silkie

6. My dark blue silkie

7. My tall gangly welsummer female!!

Now for the Seramas!!

1. My Black Hen

I usually like picking themes for my chickens, so here are some ideas:

 

5 Silkies

Snow White/Charming

Sleeping Beauty/Prince Phillip

Goldilocks/Grizzly

Rapunzel/Flynn Rider 

Ariel/Eric

 

1 Black Star

Maybe something like Galaxy or Pluto

 

1 Roo Serama

Alfalfa or Carnation

 

3 Hens Serama

Brome or Rose

Prairie or Daisy

Fescue or Lily

We live on a beautiful homestead in Kansas.  We have lots of bantams and standards (many breeds including: EEs, BOs, Speckled Sussexes, Delawares, Silkies, d'Uccles, Cochins, A few home hatched mixes, OEG bantams, and a couple undetermined).  We also have five goats (mixed origin), one dexter heifer, two pigs, and nine ducks.  Life couldn't be much better.

Thanks... We are always having chicks hatch, so I try and think of names that go together, because it makes it easier to remember which babies go with the mamas.

Thanks! Yah you are good at chicken names, usually when people post names I dont like them. Mostly because they put names such as KFC, or names that involve cooked chicken, or its something that is not creative like: Bob.

I can rarely name a chick. I wait until they earn a name that fits. I've tried naming chicks before and almost all are renamed as teens/adults when they start displaying their personalities.
