Funny story about naming chickens.

[Mulemom]

I just finished naming all my chickens and after looking at the list I had to laugh and call my mom. I started reading off some of the names I gave them...Ruby, Daisy, Jenny..I said, "Are you seeing a pattern here?" She said, "Yes. My sisters!"

It wasn't intentional. They just all have real country names that seem to work for hens. I think there might have been something subliminal about it.

So, you know what she was upset about? That I hadn't named one after her! I said, "I don't want a hen named after my mother!" So we compromised and I gave one her middle name, Louise.

Now when they are all cackleing and talking at the same time it does kind of remind me of a family reunion!

I am seriously considering changing my roo's name to "Uncle Bob"!

I HAD to name my birds after people I know, they made me! lol.

I have Jennie, Adylene, Araceli, Nikki, Cristina, and who knows! Im slowly naming mine, but with about 40 in one coop, its not easy.

And that's just one coop! I've got them all over!

Mine only got names after I came up with the ID solution. See this post: https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=11535

My kids just started naming our birds. They are young and haven't been around a lot of profanity so sometimes they just don't know what they are saying.

We now have a turkey named Pecker Head. LOL

Take care,

LOL!

My DD wanted to name one of ours "Pecker" too. I vetoed that one. She changed it to Lippy, cuz she usually gets your lip. Lippy is wearing a bright orange leg band so we know to keep her away from our faces!
