Ok... here you go.... I have:
Darky or Hawk the Dark Brahma (Originally Darky, but the kids decided she looked like a hawk when her feathers came in... She still gets called either)
Buff and Buffy: Both Buff Brahmas
Lighty and Whitey: Both Light Brahmas
Blacky the BJG
Silver the Silver Spangled Hamburg
Cairo the Gold Spangled Hamburg
Rocky the Barred Rock
Bucky the Buckeye
Bunny the EE (Of course)
Lacey the GLW
Specks the SS
Foghorn the Leghorn


Yep, I know I'm really original. The larger girls were named as they were because I didn't know if/how many might be cockerels, and if they were we were going to put them in the freezer. They all turned out to be pullets.

Wow your names are as varied as your flock! I always want to ask how one can tell the difference, but in reality I know that one can recognize them by their traits as well as breed.

I'm always impressed with the work one puts in with a flock of that size! It takes love and I personally don't think anyone should call this a hobby!

Halo 3.

LMAO! I'm surprised my son didn't decide to name his Gold Hamburg Cortana

 

[Crazy for Chickens!]

OMG How cool. Did you pick the names or did you have help? Is Olivia a singing or a police officer? Just teasing because I don't know any Olivia. Cleopatra & Claire sound so dignified. Prince of course must be very handsome!

I picked out the names. I named her Olivia, and her 'brother' was named Olive. We had to get rid of him though.

Hahahaha, I know right. A lot of the chickens are named after some sort of video game character. Thank my 8 year old lol.

Awesome names! So many eggs! Did you plan on at least one rooster? Or do you have one already

As the first set of 6 (the Brahmas and the BJG) came from the local feed store as straight run, I planned for a couple of them being cockerels. I had a paranoid moment once where I thought half of them were cockerels and ordered everybody else (except the hamburgs) from Meyers as sexed pullets. Then I got the Hamburgs a couple of weeks ago. So... I had thought I had some cockerels, but I ended up not... Yea, gonna have a lot of eggs. I'm actually trying to decide if I want to deal with it, or give up two of my brahmas. I love my multi-colored flock!
