Hey there!

[LucyAndClaire]

Hi everyone, I'm new to BYC and I'm pretty excited about starting!
I have 6 chickens; 2 Wyandotte hens; Lucy and Claire, a Wyandotte cockerel; Henry, a plain old Black hen; Gina (we have no idea what breed) and 2 Bantams (hen and cockerel) ; Tutti and Frutti. Surprisingly, the two cockerels do not fight at all because I have heard some pretty nasty stories including 2 cockerels.
Is it weird I name my chickens?
I'm looking forward to chatting to others about their chickens and sharing photos!
So see you soon!

Hi there,

and welcome to BYC!

It is not weird at all. Lots of us name our birds. I think naming them allows us to identify them easier, hence paying more attention to them and in turn, we can spot when a bird is a bit off or ill. And some birds can even learn their names! I have a few chickens and even a couple quail that do respond to their names. LOL

Great to have you aboard and enjoy all your poultry adventures!

Welcome to BYC!

Its not weird at all that you name my hens. I name almost all of my birds; you'll find that most of the people on this forum do!

Welcome to BYC!

Naming chickens is so fun. We have to light Brahma Hens, they go and do everything together. Can't tell them a part most times. So we named the Lacy and Lacie.

There is a thread where members have posted the names of theirs...it's pretty interesting what pops up.
