I NEED CHICKEN NAMES FAST!!

[heartsizedfarm]

One thing you have to watch for is not to give them stripper names. I just came from an alpaca shearing where every alpaca basically sounded like she was in the game (although, BYC moderators, of course, she wasn't): their names were Stardust, Rainbow, Babydoll, Cinnamon, Rosalita, Amber and Moondance.

Ha! Gregory Pecks! Perfect. I may have to buy another rooster just so I can use that!

There was a boar hog named Gregory Peccary - he wasn't a peccary, just a plain old hog.

The darker eggs are covered with pigment from a gland; the gland can only hold a certain amount of pigment, and there is a limit on how much pigment can be synthesized. When people breed for the darkest eggs later in a laying cycle, they inadvertently select for low production because lower production birds tend to have more pigment available later in the laying cycle.

OOPs. Sorry. I was thinking of dark egg layers, not colored egg layers. Colored egg laying is apparently related to a virus incorporated in the genome. I suspect that breeding for egg color means that sometimes production level is neglected in a given program.

This is just not my day.

Heyyy I'l try to help!
Idont mean to be annoying but as a native spanish speaker I must say first of all since Hens are female I would call her "hermosa" instead of hermoso because the second one is for males. Paco is also a males', name or nickname, usually used for guys who are called Francisco. No idea it could mean free, don't really think so but maybe as slang in some spanish speaking countries, But if you're ok with them having guys names go right ahead!!!!
I personally like really old Ladies names, think of what your great grandma and Her mom where called, hahahah. I'll give you the names of mine, you can use them if you like them off course. THey're in spanish:

Clotilde, (a favorite for hens, dunno exactly why when people hear it they say, it's perfect!) small variation: Clota
Elvira (pronounce it as in spanish : El-vee-rah that would make it cooler and less like that scary/sexy girl from tv)
Florinda
Teo (short for Teodosia great great great grandmas name lol)
Paulina
COrina
Faustina


Hope this helps!!! good luck with your new flock!!!

you are NOT being annoying im happy for the true thing (i dont want to go naming a girl a boys name) for that so thanks

changing it to hermosa!

Our Dominiques are known as the "Clown Troupe" or "Clown Unit" because of their hilarious behavior. It's hard to look dignified when one chicken is pulling your pants leg for attention and another has just landed on your head.
