Chicken Names- whats your chickens name?

[MagsC]

Recently named babies, Blondie,Poof,Evil Bird, and Nugget. Still three that arent named.

 

[AllChookUp]

I haven't named all of my chickens. My roo is named Hank, partly after the classic country singer. I have a favorite Orpington hen named Patsy.

My two older hens are Maggie and Mary.

The rest have yet to be named (9).

 

[chicknsnbiskits]

Basia - Golden Polish (Polish pet form of Barbara, means "strange or foreign")

Daisy - Pearl Leghorn

Penguin - Black Australorp (if you've seen them as newbie chicks, you understand)

Raven - ?? Black sexlink ?? She looks like a fat crow!

Tawny - Red Sexlink - matched my hair

Kim - Silver Spangled Hamburg - I wanted to name her something German, but my son got to her first

Carmen and Mahogany - ?EE's? When we got our first chickens (4 years ago) we were told they were "Auracanas", which turned out not to be true, but we established a tradition of always having at least one of these, and naming the "alpha" Carmen (Spanish name for a Chilean bird? I'm not a fan of "Juanita" and the like) We have also had EEs named Inez and Desi (Desdemona)
Mahogany is her twin - she's a little darker, so it was a way to tell them apart (Mahogany is a real brat now)

Oh! and once we had a Welsummer name Hilda.

My Speckled Sussex roos are Pants (the main man) and Itchy (plan B in case something should happen to Pants over the winter). Some of the hens are named -- Maude, Flower, Brownie -- but frankly their plumage has been changing enough (they're only about 7 months old) that I have trouble telling most of 'em apart, reliably

)

My Buff Chantecler roo is Bigger (his little brother Big ended up in the stewpot), the hens are Friendly (cuz she is) and Ladder (cuz my 4 yr old named her that, I have no idea why)

Nutty campine hen is Hazelnut; and the one surviving ISA Brown is Maryanne aka "the other chicken" (because back when she had sisters, she was the one we could never quite remember what name we'd given her)

Nobody is ever going to pay me to name things <vbg>


Pat, one of whose cats is named Bunny, and whose second son's middle name was given him after another one of our cat's names

2 Bantam Cochin roosters: Hot Stuff and Floyd
2 Black Sex-Link hens: Roastmary and Roastann
1 red frizzle cochin bantam: Phyllis (after my friend with red curly hair)
1 lavender cochin bantam who is very broody: Clara (my friend's mother)
...buk...buk...buk...buk...buk...


those are the only names that have stuck so far.

 

[BawkinOnTheBench]

Just one to share ... my daughter likes Pokemon. She named one of our pullets Peckachu.

 

[SterlingAcres]

I probably posted this already.

I only named our EEs, since I can tell them apart. We've got Lupin, Godric and Cho. All Harry Potter characters.

We've also named the Buff Orp roos we're keeping. Master Chief and Captain Oyster. DH's choice, not mine.

 

[Sunny the Hippie Chick]

I used to have a mixed breed banty. She was black with a bit of red on her neck.. Her name was Cluckie.. My grandma called her Lil' Devil.. Cause she always attacked my grandma.. She had 6 chicks.. I cant remember all of their names.. She had a real light cinnimon colored chick.. Named Nugget.. And one named either Ugly or Loudmouth.. Turned out to be a beautiful multi-colored rooster.. Renamed him Harley.. ( He was even shoulder trained like a parrot, no he never pooped on me.. ) For some reason I only remember the names of the two rooster babies.. This was way back when I was in highschool..

Edited to add...

Right now I have 4 button quail...

Lil' Roo - Silver Red Breast male
Tweek - Slate female
Wolfie - Silver Red Breast Blue headed male (also has white on his head..)
Curly - Normal (wild) female.. Has some curly feathers..
