My rooster is named after a necromancer character on the animated series "The Venture Brothers" - Dr. Orpheus. He just looks spooky. Also, Orpheus was a legendary musician and poet, and my roo likes to start crowing around 4:30 in the summer...
Miss Digby Chicken Caesar is named after a crazy bum from a comedy show. She was a stray found in my friend's neighborhood in Liberty, MO. She's a pretty girl, but still flighty even after living with us for more than six months. Every once in a while she gets excited and yells very loudly about nothing.
Goose honks at the end of her cluck. She is also known as "The Cannibal" because she gets bored way too easily and tries to eat here sister's feet. She spends a lot of time in solitary, within full view of the other birds.
Stella is a Barred Rock, named after the spot on her head as a baby.
Large Marge, RIP, was a HUGE RIR female. One day, after they started fledging, I tried to give her and her sisters a worm. Large Marge made a warning sound at the sight of it and they all ran away. I imagine she said, "snake!".
Coral's comb has a weird shape, almost like coral.
Black-eyed Susan, RIP, had black eyes. No brainer there.
Rosie, RIP, needed an old-fashioned sounding name to go with Stella and Large Marge.
Snow White is pale and quiet.
