Official BYC Poll: How do you name your pet chickens?

[rjmyooper]

I have 12 Khaki's and only one of them has a name, "Honkey". But none of the other Birds have distinctive markings yet.
I will just name them anything funny that comes to mind.

My girls are named for Disney characters! Two barred rocks named Ursula and Ella (Cruella). Two Easter Eggers named Remy and Coco. Two Welsummers named Merida and Briar Rose. Two GLW named Buckeye and Nugget (they didn't get Disney names because they were supposed to go to someone else but I fell in love lol) and Rapunzel is a Cochin and last but not least, Willow Orpington.

Each of my batches has a theme.

My newest batch are named after Star Trek characters. Riker, Janeway, Uhura, Seven of Nine, and Jadzia Dax.

Uwww, I LOVE naming things (even automobiles; usually male names). I use whatever comes to my head. For instance, I had a Great Pyrenees that I names "Fruitquake" from a guy I met as a young woman while visiting Detroit. Uw, thanks for the reminder I'm going to have to name one of my cockarels that name. I kinda vowed to always have a Fruitquake as part of our herd, stock, animals.

My buff orps remind me of one of my girlfriend named Laura. Since all four look alike, they are ALL named "Laura". One of my fave breeds is Brahma. I promised self first recognition of a cockarel will be named Samson. How appropriate for a big ole Brahma bird.

I have a NN now who got hurt. A boo boo on his neck. I named him Horatio. Thank goodness he is a boy, LOL! And so on it goes. Whatever I think of. Uwww, how about Crunchsnot. Yeah, that's a good name.

I love to name my birds with old fashion. English names… or after certain authors or historical names/Nick names…. For example I name the top/biggest hen Lady Bird for Lady Bird Aka Elenor Roosevelt, Beatrix for Beatrix Potter…. I have a Jemima named after one of her characters which she identified the most as a resprensentattion of herself. Other old fashion names used… Henrietta, Myrtle, Jemima (is also an old English name) which if commented on you have a true explainable background of the name, it’s not “racist” lol

My rooster is Mr Doodles… after the rooster named in the book Plant Animal Miracle…. Which by the way if you haven’t read is such an amazing book, and a plot hee of information on homesteading written more like a journal, filled with recipes and sources….
