We give the roosters names, but give the hens all the same name.
Russian Orloffs- Roosters White Legs (has white legs) and Captain Hook (has hooked beak). Hens are Olgas.
Delawares - Roosters Black Tail ( has solid black tail), Joe (named after Joe Flacko who went to University of Delaware) and George (named after George Thurogood who's from Delaware). Hens are Bettys (White chicken so Betty White).
Iowa Blues - Roosters Herky,Cyclone and Hawkeye. Hens are Dorthy's (after my Mom-in law who's from Iowa).
Norwegian Jaerhons - Roosters Swen and Ole and Hens are Lenas
Americanas - Rooster Hecliff and Hens are Gertrudes (after Red Skelton's Sea Gulls)
Generic name for our broilers is Drum Stick.
