Chicken name help?

I like Jade, or perhaps Shimmer, or if you are feeling cheeky (chicky?) lol! Lady gaga if she's a she, or Miley Cyrus if you are not sure he or she! Both like to do creative colors for their hair, and Miley works either way.
 
Hmmmm, how about Sara after the singer song writer Sara Bareilles that had the hit song " I want to see you be brave"?
 
I am intrigued - is "roo" a pet name for roosters in USA? To me, in Australia, "roo" is quite a different animal, and not one I am likely to find in my chook house, although they have an unfortunate tendency to jump into fences and wreck them. I love naming my chickens - I have Eggnes, Shiraz, Omeletta, and Camilla (Prince Charles and Camilla were visiting Australia at the time), and my rooster is Brabinger. In the past I have had Sunday Roast, Henrietta, and Souffle.

"Roo" is slang (if that's what you wanna call it) for rooster in the US. :) People don't really say chooks here in the US. At first I thought a chook was a type of bird when I joined the forum.

This was honestly the first time I have used the term "roo" instead of rooster. Having spent three months in Australia (LONG ago and well before the thought of owning chickens even entered my head), I've always thought of "roo" the way you do. I do have to chuckle at the idea of a "roo bar" for chickens, though.

I love the names you've given your chickens especially Sunday Roast and Souffle -- well and Eggness and Omeletta. My kids knew a family with a big pet tom turkey named Dinner. He never was (dinner), but I always loved the name.
