Chirping
I've name all of my birds and have stories about all of them. Next year I'm going to get a meatbird and name it Thanksgiving. The names in red are birds we no longer have.
Hens: Nighthawk, Ninja, Zoe, Psyc, Acorn, Thyme, Rosemary, Sage, Chives, Ginger, Persephone, Daisy, Blue, Tilda, Ingrid, Rhododendron,Ursa, Ginny, Subku, Kasaiuki, Shae, Maplesugar, Fae, Echo, Cassandra (Cassie), Betty, Trixie, Bubbles, Kara, Alex, Susan (Suzi), Dewdrop (Dewy), Amy, Megan, Peep, Scaredy Cat, Eagle, Popcorn, Butter, Buffpuff, Buffbuff, Lily, Angle, Silena, Dimond, Baby Tooth, Winter, X (Hopple), Y, Creamsicle, Thing 1, Thing 2, Seaspray, Ripple ,Kitty, Gertrude, Snow, Aspara, Lumina, Muninn, Rey, Marvel, Sakerra
Roosters: Pluto, Jo, Starbright, Sylvester, Starhawk, Huginn, Anzotic, Cormac, Whisper, Mr. Comb, Padfoot, Moony, Prongs, Gandalf, Bracken, Wander, Kai, Jupiter, Neptune, Janus, Aquilon, Honey (Cupid), Mars,Mercury, Aeolus,Midas,Pierre, Goldie, Astro
Ducks: Eclipse, Kiwi, Basil, Sam, William, Beniduct
Guineas: Halo, Rau, Shadowthorn, Lunar, Sola, Carrots
X & Y were leghorns we couldn't tell apart, until one of then injured her leg, so she got nicknamed Hopple.
Thing 1 & Thing 2 were Bantam Cochins we couldn't tell apart.
Pluto & Persephone are our Spanish pair.
Kara & Alex were named after Supergirl & her sister because they're d'Anvers.
Huginn & Muninn were named after Odin's ravens. They're Sumatras.
Padfoot, Moony & Prongs are from Harry Potter.
Neptune, bantam splash cochin, was originally named Amphitrite, but ended up being a boy so we renamed him. We'd had Jupiter, LF Australorp cross, for some time, by the time we ended up with another Roo (Neptune), and Jupiter didn't really have a name. We called him Big Bird & Rooster, but after we renamed Neptune we realized that Jupiter couldn't be upstaged by Neptune.
Kiwi kind of looked like a kiwi fruit as a duckling.
Halo had Angle wing as a chick, but grew out of it.
Gandalf is a Grey Japanese, so be became Gandalf the Grey.
When Mr. Comb first hatched out he had a large comb for a newly hatched chick.
Many of our other birds were named by looking through a Gurney's catalog.
