tweety, some of mine have names & some don't. The ones of my hens that do have names are: Roseanne (She's a Barred Rock, so you can figure that one out probably, her personality is kind of like Roseanne Barr), then I have Violet, Lavender, Raven, Midnight, Goldie, Audrey & Speckie. I have four roosters that are named: Big Red, Blackie, Rudy, & Guy. They're not terribly creative names, but they fit. For the rest of them, I just haven't come up with anything I think fits them yet. DH doesn't think I should name them because then if something happens to them or I have to get rid of them for some reason it will be harder, but I don't think so. I sold two hens & one rooster that I had named & I don't think it was any harder with the names than usual.
I did name the Polish that is living in my garage that nearly died from the turkey attack. Her name is Cocoa, and my son named her. My garage silkies are Zorro, Yoda and Zelda. (Zelda is from the Nintendo game when I was a kid) I have a couple of other silkies but we can't tell them apart-- they are the white ones and they honestly are so darned ugly and look so similar-- we call them BOTH Rosebud! LOL!! I can't even tell yet if they are boy or girl. Ah well, they are really sweet. Then we named the Barred Rocks- one is Olive and the other is Blackie. (again, my son named her-- I named Olive). The others aren't named as we can't tell them apart. If I name another bird, I'm thinking something old fashioned like Alma, Doris, Virginia, etc...
