Do you name your chickens?

[NagemTX]

Oh, named the other Spitzhauben rooster to day and have already forgotten the name I gave him. His brother is Amadeus.

I remembered! Sultan, for this song I like, Sultans of swing!

Every single one! Sometimes I do not know if they know their name or just my voice but as soon as I talk to them they come a running’.

I have a weird naming system, sometimes they get named shortly after hatch (and I have been surprisingly accurate with genders sometimes), roosters almost always end up with a name, hens that I can tell apart from the others often get a name, and sometimes chickens "earn" a name. Examples of earning a name. I have a cockerel named Goat, because he kept sneaking into the goat paddock and sometimes sleeping in there cause he wouldn't come to me. I had a hen named Lady Pinky cause she survived a dog attack and had pink stained feathers, unfortunately lost track of her once she moulted . Spices earned her name for being the only one of my Buff sussex hens to survive a fox attack (name is completely unrelated but she definitely deserved a name). I have quite a few waiting for names right now because I need ones that "fit" them, the last one to receive a name got "Squash".

Yes! And we don't plan to keep them after they stop laying, but when discussing them, it's useful to know to which chickens you're referring... Bellatrix, Cho, Hermione, Luna, Mrs. Weasley, Helga, Minerva, Tonks, Fleur and Dr. Robotnik

Henrietta, Hennifer, Baracky, Blue, Daisy, Pansy, Petunia.Polly, Wolly and Doodle, and 2 roos....Roo2 and Daffodil who was supposed to be a chicken. My 2 wyandottes, Dottie and Winnie are nesting in that great roost in the sky. Love my girls. Obviously pets.

I have 19 and I have named my one PBB Lily but she turned into Leroy a week or so ago. Now we have Marble, Maple, Ombre, Ozzie, Leroy Jenkins, Willow, Tiger Lily, Sunny, Honey, Clover, Bluebelle, Buttercup, Tinkerbell, Cali, Penny, Ginger, Fern, Butters and Yum Yum

These are awesome names!

 

[Yvette In California]

We do! Our current flock:

• Tiny Black Silkie: Dottie
• Black Australorp: Gertie aka Gertrude
• Three Easter Eggers: Ruby Tuesday, Veritie, Clever Clara

Previous Girls that Passed:

• Lilly
• Poppy

I wanted to name one of our Easter Eggers (they are the newest additions) Extra Crispy or Chicken Nugget but once I met them, they needed something different LOL

Just the pullets because I don't know which cockerel we're keeping. They all have color leg rings.

So far:
Blondie
Rita
Hannah

I have 4 Dominique chicks that appear to be female, so I have come up with these names:

Abigail (Abby)
Leah
Rahab
Tamar

I might rename the first two Sussex.

I usually do. If its ones I can't tell the difference, I just give them a quad name lol. Mine are Mane Avis, Repecka, Belle, Goldilocks, Shot, Mama, and Storm. There is two leghorn game mixes I can't tell apart, I call them the 'Leghorn mixes'

Oh! And the chicks. There is Brownie, Nugget, Nupe, and Chipmunk. I used to be able to tell Nugget and Brownie apart, but not as much anymore.
