Just curious? Who names all their chickens and who doesn't?

[coyote826]

I also named the sand hill crane (Hans Solo) that flies in to visit me about 4 days a week. He sqwaks at my front door for his treats of bread crumbs.

With about 70 chickens, more or less, it changes all the time - About half of them have names. The other half are not named because A) they're chicks or B) I've not come up with a fitting name yet. Almost all of my Araucanas, who are over a year old now, still do not have names

I guess I wouldn't if it was a large flock but having just a few chickens seems to be begging for names.

I started naming them. BUT! I only have a name for 5 chicks now.

I started off with 3 partridge rocks. The next week I got 13 more. Of the original 3 that I'd named, I can tell them apart because one is always the first to me, whenever I am around (Maxine). The next chicken to me is Fredeica. The other original partridge rock is Josephine, who will come near but not let me pick her up. I can tell them apart bc they are all bigger and slightly more feathered than the others. The smallest partridge rock from the second batch is called Mini. Mini is like Maxi and will jump on my lap. There is one other partridge rock who I call Meat Head because "he" looks very muscley, and its body style is very different than the other sexed chicks of ita breed. Perhaps it's a roo, or it's some other genetic thing going on. I guess time will tell.

Other than those 5- their feathers all change patterns so fast I can't tell them apart. I figure that I will name them when they are fully feathered and grow into their personalities. Or not. I really like not having to do the whole "Waltons goodnight" thing with the names when I walk into the coop. However, I really need to have a hen named Camilla. Just because. I have a lot of aunts, maybe I will name the rest of the chickens after them. They'd be flattered.

I have names for most of my chickens

Rudy the Rooster, Laverne and Shirley, Lucy, Myrtel, Ethel, Goldie Hahn and Dusty to name a few! The others either look to much alike to tell them apart or they are new to the coop and I haven't gotten to know them well enough to name them yet.

Of course we name them! We usually name them when they're young and do transgender names (just in case xD) Although the names may change once we're sure if it's a hen or not. Usually though that never happens!
I haven't named our BL Polish yet nor the GL Polish xD
