Ours, too, are often based on looks and matched to people they remind us of. We have two Rhode Islands named after redheads : Bette (Midler) and Reba. Then we have Fancy and Fluffy with feathered feet. We have Merle (Haggard) and Junior (Dale Earnhardt, Jr.). There's Goldie, after my grandma who had chickens for years and loved them.......Goldie is black and gold. Sassy is just that, bossy and rules the entire chicken house. Oreo is black and white. Freckles is black and white. Tiny is a little banty. Chicken Little, of course, was a famous chicken in a book and named after one my daughter played with 20 + years ago. She died about the time KFC came out with some small sandwiches called Chicken Littles and the big brother in the house told little sister that's where her chicken went.
