We let each of our family members name one, and that one becomes "their own".

 

[Auntiejessi3]

It's all just at random, lol...

The first three old fashioned names
Maribel-light brahma
Ruth-buff orp
Betty White-WTB (My sister named her)

Second three my husband just blurted out "the charmed ones" so they became
Prue-OE
Piper-Welsummer
Phoebe-Blue orp

This last batch, we had just rewatched Vikings, with a strange side twist from Supernatural

Lagertha-FBCM
Freya-Favaucana
Lillith (Lilly)-BLRW

So I'm not sure there is any method to the madness

Love him! I’m hoping to get a Naked Neck soon. They are hilariously adorable.

IMHO not a very good idea in Massachusetts. Naked neck are not fit for you’re winter climate.

I thought Naked Necks were pretty cold-hardy.

They are reasonably cold-hardy. I have frizzle polish and was told I will have to protect them from the cold, we hit -7 to -10 in the winter and they were all absolutely fine. I think they acclimatise and adjust

You may be right, although I have many breeds that generally don’t do well in cold climates, and they are doing fine. We have an insulated coop that stays VERY warm in the winter.

Not sure. Was looking around for hatching eggs but they don’t seem to be popular up north, for obvious reasons.
