Well....I have 11 hens in one run and 9 are RIR hens....they don't have names as I can't tell them apart...at all. Then there is a cornish in there and she does not have a name. However....the partridge rock is called Pretty Baby. I like that hen.
Also, my big rooster, a Buff Orpington that I really like....sometimes we call him BO and most of the time I call him Butterball.
Then, in the other run there is the Lone Rooster. Just him. But his new girls are in quarantine. Lucy and Ethel. Lucy I do not like. She followed the three pullets around and very meanly pecked on them to the point that they would not even stand up and piled in the corner and laid there for two days. I made them their own pen and moved them out....where they do stand up. I call them the triplets as they all look alike and we call them you, you and you. Ethel I kind of like. I am going to put the triplets in with Ethel in a couple of weeks and put Lucy by herself. I really don't like that hen. She may just have to live by herself forever. She is not nice.
So:
Pretty Baby
Butterball
Lone Rooster (barred rock)
the new girls:
Lucy....bad chicken
Ethel
and the triplets: you, you and you
Oh, my.....I forgot Harry the Cochin!! He is so sweet, harms none....so far.
