We have 12 chickens and I guess they all have names, but we never know which one is which. They have names like Atilla the Hen, Darth Layer, Hen Solo, General Tso, but the names are subject to change and they're all just called chicken or ladies anyways so the names are just for fun.

This is my first post, I just signed up this evening.

Oh yes, most definitely....our chicks although they are our first and 10 1/2 weeks old....they are beloved pets and they all have names. My mother who sadly passed away almost 2 years ago LOVED flowers and had AMAZING flower gardens....well for her....we named them all after flowers!!!!

Trillium (aka Tilly)-Blue Laced Red Wyandotte
Daisy-Black cochin
Dahlia-Blue Black cochin
Lily-Black Maran
Lilac-Blue Maran
Violet-Blue Olive Egger
Clover-Barred Rock
Nasturtium (aka Nessie)-Speckled Sussex
Chrysanthemum (aka Chrysse)-Speckled Sussex
Dandelion (aka Dandy)-Barnevelder.....my 6 yr old little boy named her....then he came home from school one day and informed me that a dandelion was actually a weed...but he said she was going to keep her name....too cute!

*These ones are all about 2 1/2 months old....

Pansy-Silver Laced Wyandotte
Tulip-Buff Orpington
Daffodil (aka Dilly)-Buff Orpington
*These ones are 4 weeks old...

Delphinium (aka Finni)-Speckled Sussex
*2 1/2 weeks old

Then we have six little new cochins who are also 2 1/2 weeks old, we haven't named yet...but we are working on it....we have 2 buffs, 2 blues, 1 partridge and on silver laced....we can't keep all of them...we got them straight run...and are giving a few to our friend, just not sure which ones yet. Our chicks are VERY spoiled and VERY much PETS and a few don't think they are chickens....they think they are la dogs! LOL....so we are waiting just a little longer to see which ones are the friendliest and have the sweetest personalities.

this is my 11 yr old hanging out in the sun on our deck with Lilac, our blue maran....like I said, she doesn't think she is a chicken!

Will let you know when we name our newest members!

Hi! I live in West Oakland, CA.. We have 20 hens and 4 one week old chicks (not their "egg" babies since we don't have a rooster, we planted them) hatched by 2 of our broody hens. One of the broody hens is a Buff Orpington (no surprise there) and the other is a Plymouth Barred Rock (Whaa?). We name all of our lovely ladies and treat them as such. It has been proven through scientific studies that naming your animals, whether they be beast, fish or fowl, the lovelies will be happier, much more content and more productive. We have Rhode Island Reds, Plymouth Barred Rocks, Buffies, Australorps, Americaunas, Golden Sex Links, White Brahmas, and a rescued mutt or two. BUT, all of our babies (meaning all of


birds are our babies) have names. allow me to throw out a few names for some inspiration... One of the new mystery chicks is almost all black, I named her Sabbath. One of our new chicks is named Mr. Bungle. We have adult hens named: (add "chicken" before or after name as is appropriate) Rubber, Noodle, Kung Pao, Curry, Jerk, Dumpling, Katsu, Buffalo, and Curry. We've also got Buttercup, Cinnamon, Hunka-Munka, Flopsy, Mopsy, and Beauty Eyes! The possibilities are as endless as your imagination! I can guarantee your birds will love you for giving them some special names, and some of them will actually come-a-runnin' when they hear you call for them by name! Good luck! -G
