    Strangest and Silliest Chicken Names?

    Got my first six chickens and my grandkids named them all. My wyndotte they named Bethany. One day my granddaughter came to me and Bethany is down there crowing! He starts at 6:15 every morning crowing his heart out and we are still calling him Bethany.
