I have 7, 11 week olds. I am new to chickens and was told to not name them if I wanna eat them. . . . I have no plans to eat them at this point. I have three all white silkies. . . two which turned out to be roos. I named one Elvis cause of his floppy feather do on top of his head. The other two silkies still need names. (Maybe Lenny and Pretty Girl) I have a speckled sussex roo who I named Lucky since he was the only survivor of the 7 that I hatched. (Oddly, the other 6 died within 40 min. of each other at two days old and I have no idea why. . .tragic. They looked like they were suffering . . . .Lucky was so sad to be alone so I gave him a stuffed animal. The next day I bought 6 more chicks for him and he was elated!) I named my 3 reds (NH reds, RI's or red sexed???) Momma- she's a caring, dominant one who is quite smart, and the other two are Lavern and Shirley. I can't really tell them apart. I don't really call them out by their names, but they all will come a running when I say, "Here Ladies! Come Ladies". Hopefully the roos aren't offended.
LOL.
