How many chickens do you have, and what are their names if they have names?

I have too many to name, and some I will not keep, but I have some funny names. One BCM I named Nolene, because...Jack Sprat could eat no fat, his wife could eat Nolene.

You should name a B/W Hydroxy instead, or maybe cookie.
 
It is hot here and I have 3 broody hens. I just ordered chicks and some in incubator, so maybe a broody will get babies. I got 15+ from Meyers and there is free shipping on 15+

Our previous flock:
  • Dolly (ISA Brown) - Named after Dolly Parton. A cute, fluffy blonde with a sweet disposition.
  • Karma (Speckled Sussex) - 'Cause Karma's a b*tch. She was super mean to the other girls as a chick. She turned out to be sweet when she got older.
  • Vanya (Easter Egger) - Named after Vanya/Victor Hargreeves from the Umbrella Academy. She was the runt of the bunch, but she had a strong personality.
  • Nugget (Welsummer) - We got McDonald's right after we got her from Tractor Supply. 🤣

Our current flock:
  • Emma "The Emu" (Jersey Giant) - She stomps around like a freakin' emu or ostrich, and she has a super long neck.
  • Molly (Leghorn) - No particular reason. We thought it was cute and suited her.
  • Clover (New Hampshire Red) - I felt like we got really lucky with her. From day 1, she has been so extremely friendly, and she's very calm.
  • Lindy Lou (Golden Cuckoo Maran) - Named after my fiancé's late grandmother, Linda. She is a sweet and gentle girl. Lindy Lou is her full name, just Lindy for short.

I'm trying to name them as they become distinguishable from the others. But, my white leghorn chicks are all named Amy, since they're just all identical yellow puffs of down.

The barred rocks and marans were named Abby, up until recently. Now that they're starting to show bars, I can name them. Then the one I suspect is a cockerel is Abelard until / unless he proves me wrong.

I'm trying to use first letters of names to indicate which year they're born, so it's all A names for now.

So, that's:
Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy, and Amy the white leghorns.
Abigale and Anna the easter eggers.
Abelard, Arnhild, and Agnes the barred rocks.
Aspen and Audrey the cuckoo marans.
