We had 9 originally however 6 were Roos and we lost one the second week. Little Poo got his name as he had horrible pasty butt. I think the RIR is a production hen. She is producing nicely, started layinglast month and lays almost daily.

We have 8 new chicks, our first ones. 5 of them have names.
Adele is an Australorp. She reminds me of an Adelie penguin, but Adelie isn't near as cute as Adele.
Coco is also an Australorp. My 7 year old son named her.
Reese's is an Easter Egger. She is brown with some white-ish stripes on her back.
Tootsie is also an Easter Egger. She is dark brown.
Noodle is a Barred Rock. She was named by my 4 year old son.
We have one more Easter Egger who will get another candy name. There are also two more Barred Rocks. No idea for their names.
First some how I lost my reply to you, I'm sorry.
I love the names and reasons! Sometimes I think your way is best . Names as fluid as the flock. I mean it's not like our dogs that come running when they hear their name?
If you've managed to get yours to do that you'll have to PM how! I only have the two and they're different and I still keep it all straight.
Your flick sounds like it's a labor of love for you!
I always sing song "Miss Lilla" when I see her and I swear today she picked her head up from scratching. Or it was a bug...![]()
I found two nests. Since then Patsy and KD are using the nesting box. Nobody else is laying yet but Janis seems close.Did you ever find where hens hid their eggs?
This is my first. They are 2 1/2 weeks old. How they grow up fast (haha)Lovely names all! Like a trio of singers!
Have you had Chickens for a while?
I'm new to chickens, just got my first flock as day old chicks in May. We love them!
Our flock is:
Pierre-Cuckoo Marans rooster
Colette & Nanette-Cuckoo Marans
Goldie-Buff Orpington
Abbie-Black Australorp
Sylvia-Ameracauna
Summer-Welsummer
Sweetie Pie-Speckled Sussex
Vera-Barred Rock
Lacy-Gold laced Wyandotte
We lost Arleen last week.
Vera, Goldie, Sylvia & Arleen were named after our Grandmas.
The rest are pretty random names, although Lacy & Summer are kind of obvious.
Pierre, Nanette & Colette had to have French names because they're a French breed.
We love them more than expected. We're anxiously awaiting that first egg. It looks like Goldie or Sweetie Pie might be the ones to give it.
