What is Your Favorite Word to Describe Your Flock?

[That_australian_lad]

i call mine tooks 'cus they will steal your food if you are not focest

 

[Newblet]

My 2 are "cold blooded", I am completely convinced that they would eat me if i was smaller than them. They look at me with one cold blooded eye, they are thinking of a way to kill me. I spoil them to, they give me 2 eggs a day.

I feel like this when I get home.

Here is Moniques death stare

This is her standing on the back of my chair looking for the best way to end me.

I have my lovely ladies when they are well behaved and my tiny terrors when they aren’t so well behaved. It makes sense seeing as most of mine are bantams.

So, I have seen wonderful terms of endearments on BYC that oozes love for each person's girls.

I was just wondering what word or term of love you use when talking about your girls...?

List them away because I would love to see what you call your girls....

I tell my hen I am going to feed the quackheads and peckerheads.

 

[Kdlevesque]

We have 4 Buff Orpingtons so I call them “the Golden Girls”

 

[igorsMistress]

Some of what I call the roosters would get me in trouble here but they're such jerks to each other!

I just call "chook chook chook" to get them to come to me, but we have conversations

"The chickeninas" for hens. [Pronounced: chicken-een-ahs]

New pullets are collectively called "the chickenininas" until they start laying or thereabouts.

(N.B. These terms are only used between DH and myself.)

The roosters are invariably referred to as "the roosters".

When calling them, I use a singsong "here chick-chick, here chick-chick-chick" for all chickens.

I call out, My duckie duckies and all my little sweeties come running.
My little hatchlings are my little gators.

 

[BGcoop]

My main flock all come running when I say “chickie chickens”. We have a bunch of chicks we hatched this spring that are all mostly black so they are “the vultures” when referring to if they have been fed or not. I also picked up a trio of one WL and two CCL and those three are referred to as the “road runners” since they are much sleeker than my other birds.

 

[analyticalblonde]

My hens I refer to as “The Ladies”.
My cockerel, well, I won’t say it but if you know the name of Steve Martin’s dog in the movie “The Jerk”....

You mean it's "Lifesaver"....MWAHAHAHA
