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

[FarmerJamie]

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

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

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!!

 

[AHappychick]

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

 

[Whitehouse Quail]

My barred rocks are:

Madonna - I don't know why, because I could!

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!

 

[darkmatter]

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.

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.
