Chicken Names- whats your chickens name?

[magnolia-1971]

So far we have Matilda/Matty a black Australorp (she's the smallist), Sunshine a Buff Orpingtn, Sweetie Pie (this is just a baby name) she is an EE, Ginger (another EE) and Patches (EE also).

I have a question? Other than the one chicken I have at the moment that I have named, how on earth can you tell your chickens apart if they are all the same colours? I will be getting Australorps by the end of the week, they are all black and to me they all look the same - how can you tell which one is which when you name them?

After a while you see little differences. One will have more tips to her comb. One will have darker legs than most. Their fluff will be slightly different shades of the same color. Some will be quite a bit larger. You learn to tell them apart, well, if you care about it. My friend who has the other half of our original order three years ago still doesn't notice a difference. I have kids. I give them names. I can tell. Not always at first, but eventually.

Now if you ordered a hundred.....

One of my girls was initially named Joyce, but she turned out to be very pushy and the name didn't seem to fit...my brother said "She acts like a Helga." So, no offense to anyone named Helga (!!) BUT our pushy red pullet has so been renamed.

I heard someone named their White Cochin Marshmallow. Is it ok if I name mine that?

The name fits so well? Also, I have to admit I coppied someone with the name Sunshine. It is so cute

I have four White Chinese geese named:
Captain ~ stands the tallest and from Mr.Poppers Penguins
Ping ~ from the book Ping
Ducky ~ yeah yeah I know
Pippin ~ from LOTR

And four White Leghorns:
Foggy ~ Foghorn Leghorn
Harmony "Harm" ~ she sings enough for Foggy too who doesn't sing much
The wee ones: ? and ? :/ haha can't think of names for them...

two RIRS:
Henfruit ~ yeah.....don't ask....it was my dad's idea...
Sarge ~ the beast. she tries to eat me!!

she frightens me

More wee ones, two Aruacanas:
Pixie ~ i dunno....
Chipmunk ~ not terribly original if you saw her haha

And if I had a rooster I'd name him Cogburn, so I could say, "And this is my Rooster Cogburn" hahahaha

So it looks like one of our BO chicks is a Rooster...so instead of Bridgette, we are going with Bubba. And he will be moving to my parents farm once he starts cock-a-doodle-dooing!
