My chickens are....
Our smallest Australorp is PingPong (my son named her)
The other Australorp is LuAnn (in tribute to a friend's daughters, Lucy and Anna)
A Black Star named Daisy
and
An Ancona named Tallulah (my son again, after the chicken in the Maisy books)
 
My Buff Orps
Audrey(Hepburn)
Olivia(De Havilland)
Mae(West)
Black Cochin
Vivian(Leigh)
Black Australorp
Natalie(Wood)
Partridge Rock
Ingrid(Bergman)

Yup, we have a theme!
 
RIR- Hazel (my great grand-mother) (former)
BO- Brunhilde (A Viking person) (former)
EE- Penelope (named when we adopted her) (former)
RIR- Ida (Ida Red- an apple) (former)
Welsummer- Beatrix (Beatrix Potter) (former)
Aussie- Olympia (After the mountian, my fave)
SLW- Vanda (I made it up- Vahn-duh)
BR- Phoebe (Moon goddess)
Red X Link- Rita (was going to be Rosa, but Rita suited her better- hyper and high-pitched)
Welsummer- Ophelia (after the person who drowned herself)
EE- Lillith (Queen of Demons)
EE- Fatima (dad named her- means abstinance)
EE- Charlotte (I don't know. My mom named her)

And I do barn work at a stable where there's a little flock of hens. The owner let me name them.
Aussie- Bellatrix LeStrange (My favorite of their hens ((Ausssies rock!)), named for the Harry Potter character.)
White Rock- Ellie (only way I can tell the WRs apart is Ellie's bald)
WR- Mae
RIR/NHR- Belladonna (has a flower-shaped scar on her comb)
RIR/NHR- River (dark, flowy feathers)
RIR/NHR- Campine (Made it up. Cahm-pyne)

Whew! Ta-da!
 
I wanted to add our names to the mix:


3 Buff Orps - Champagne, Saffon, and Buffy

4 Silver Laced Wyandottes - Freckles, Star, Amber, Pepper

2 Gold Stars - Ruby and Rosie

Plus, 2 ducks:

1 Pekin drake - Gary ( I admit it, I have this HUGE crush on Vin Diesel, and he had a drake named Gary...)
1 Mallard duck - Goldy
Everyone has such unusual and interesting names for their feathered friends, it is cool to read about them!
 
It takes me time to name my animal friends. I like to get to know them first and then the names come naturally. Overtime I often have a few nick-names for them. Mom named our chicks (except for Penguin which my Niece and Nephew named). I don't know the breeds.

(this picture doesn't do them justice!)

From left to right....

Spot (Bard Rock) ~ She used to have a white spot on her head. But now shes spotted so it still works.
Penguin (Black Australorp) ~ The kids thought she used to look like a penguin. The names stuck now.
Penny 2 2 (Rhode Island Red)~ She looks like Penny, a very friendly hen we once had.
Buffy (Buff Orpington) ~ Cuz shes a Buff Orpington.
Blondy (Ameraucana) ~ Cuz she used to be blonde. I call her Meany Blondy but shes mellowing with age.
Little Bit ~ (Ameraucana) Cuz shes so small and cute!


EDIT: Got Buffy's name wrong (had called her Goldy) and added the breed types.
