Hello! I wasn't sure whether to put this in Everything Else Chicken or Raising Baby Chicks; but as sometimes you name an older chicken Everthing Else seemed appropriate. Mods, please move it if you don't think it belongs here! This is basically a list of names that might be good for chickens. My favorites are Lalli, "babbler" because there's a loud chicken in every flock. And Danior, "born with teeth". That one's just good for laughs. Please add to this list! If you have a name that you think is WAY too awesome to not be shared, please tell us! I'll keep adding, too.

I just call everyone Mr Chicken. But then as far as I know I only have ONE pullet. I don't think the guineas mind, as long as I feed them and let them outside to scratch around the ant hills.
My girls are Wilma because she is always cleaning the coop and is the one i could see being a mama later on then betty boop because she is flirt and Lucy Recardo because she is a redhead and when you say lucy I'm home she hops up on the back deck.
