For those of you that name your chickens...

[SilverPhoenix]

I name all of my chickens! Except the ones I'm going to rehome, but once I know the bird's gender and color at about six to eight weeks, they get their names.

I have a lot of chickens so I don't know if I can remember all the names off the top of my head but here's what I can remember offhand:

Rio
Royal
Rex
Remy
Rocket
Prince
Inca
Aztec
Maya
Splash
Miranda
Charming
Magpie
Butterscotch
Timber
Storm
Tsunami
Henny-Penny
Kerfluffle
Minky
Starlet
Kiisa
Yasako
Isako
Fumie (AKA Siiken)
Aka
Chise
Eden
Silver
Sterling
Venice
Vienna
Porcia
Athena
Aphrodite
Freckles
Starly
Henrietta
Sable
Aspen
Alpine
Almond
Roca
Istanbul
Constantinople
Poppy
Domino
Tawny
Kestrel
and quite a few are still working on getting their names.

The ducks are Ahiru, Fakir, Albert (pronounced Al-bear), Eugenie, Tux, and Pen-Pen. The guineas are Cornelius, Diamond, and Pearl. The chukar is Zebra. I would name the coturnix if I could tell them apart, I need to band them or something so I can give them names.

Everyone is free to steal names if you want, I love thinking up chicken names.

I only name the 'pets' so most are just collectively "The Girls". But I have Rooster C the gangsta rooster because he tries to be intimidating (fails miserably LOL), a Polish rooster named Pecky because he keeps getting picked on, and Charro the black Cochin hen that I call Cootchie.

Rooster C is currently on a Governor's commutation of sentence from freezer camp to lifetime parole, we'll see if he ends up Sunday dinner or not. Pecky and Charro were ordered to just be eye candy so they are the pet chicks around here.

I have so many that I call them all "Ladies" some do earn names, for instance Gonzo because her beak looks like Gonzo's nose from the muppets. Toey, her toe was broken way back and it healed crooked, Parker because as I gather the eggs she follows me like she wants to know what I'm doing (like a Nosy Parker). Some names can't be shared but they aren't as nice as most.
