Chicken names? Oh boy, here I go...
My six hens are: Poppy ("Pops" for short), Marshmallow, Ran, Su, Yotsuba, and Najika.
My two cockerels are Zapraska and Lefty.
Possible chicken names for the future... I rather like Tibia. Maybe Melanin would be nice, and Dahlia. Also Cerulean, Azure, Midnight, Raspberry, Cathedral, Basilica, Platelet, Kashmir... so on.
Some name ideas came from last year when we had two Sapphire Gem pullets that needed names. So, what are some blue or blue-ish colors? Or just some nice names (like Cathedral and Basilica). We decided on Poppy and Lavender (sadly, the latter died after maybe a week), but I also remember the names Denim, Slate, Navy, Cerulean, Marine, Vein, Hyacinth, Aquamarine, Sapphire, Umi (Japanese for "ocean"), Asphyxia, Hypoxia, and maybe Zircon.
I still love Asphyxia and Hypoxia -- I know it's rather dark, but it just amuses me for some reason. What do you guys think? Too morbid (sorry if it is)?
I think that I might call a hen Minerva Louise. It's a lovely name from some lovely children's books.
Lots of good names coming from you guys!
