Nicknames for your flock

[SueT]

I get so angry at a little D'Uccle hen who, when I have let the flock out to range in the evenings, is reluctant to go back in-- long after everyone else is roosting. I chase her w a stick telling her she's a Useless Nuisance. (she is FAST) (No I would never hit her or any of them w the stick it's just to extend my arms guiding them toward the door.) Lately, tho, I've decided she's a sort of celestial being sent to teach me patience. A little glowing golden angel she is. So I submitted a pic of her to the BYC calendar thread. Now she's my Calendar Girl and I really do love her...each and every day of the year, lol....

Lexie (Alpine goat) has earnt the title of "You small, irritating beast of burden". It's mainly used when she stomps on my feet in her eagerness to get to her grain every morning.

Street Food is the craziest name I say.
Broken Toe is almost normal.
Dogs don't count. They all have different names.

Awe, my dog gets called "broken toe" often. She has a tendency to tear off her dewclaw and limp around like a big baby once every few months. She also gets called sh!thead because, well, she likes to roll in it and it tends to end up on her head and it makes me furious so she doesn't get called nice names when this happens weekly.

Most of my pets (chickens and others) are females and collectively called "the girls."

The chickens are my "peepers" or my "little chickadees."

The ducks collectively are my "mack macks" or my "quackers."

I like it....I had donkeys and would admonish them to act like "proper beasts of burden." Instead they were neurotic sissies!

quite appropriate

when a girlfriend and I would often walk our 3 female dogs together we referred to them as the bitches' bitches.

I have 3 tolbunt polish pullets. I started calling the friendliest one Dora because she was always exploring. Her sisters i call Dumb and Dumber because even with 2 doors open, it took them a long time to figure out that it was possible to get out of the tractor .
