Not a chicken but I have a duck named Goose

Not a chicken but I have a duck named Goose

Duck, duck, Goose?

 

[muddy75]

Duck, duck, Goose?

Yeah but I lost duck and duck to raccoons

 

[Windy Wings]

Angry Dude, Peck, and Frank's Red Hot (keep in mind, I named them when they were chicks and I didn't know if they were all girls...) and Batman

 

[Sally PB]

My first rooster was named Darl. The hens were Darl's chickens.

At the moment I have:
Bertha, aka Big Bertha the Murderbird. Still hasn't forgiven me for eating her personal harem of cockerels. Hates everyone else too.
Glue (I dropped the incubator lid on her egg and patched the dent with gorilla glue silicone sealant. And now if I make the mistake of being around at bedtime she tries to roost on my head, and peeling her off feels like she's glued on)
Nora (a Norfolk Grey and keeps to herself - the other birds mostly ig-Nora)
Lady Muck and my Good Lady Chickenwife deserved fancy names because Hylines often aren't appreciated enough or seen as anything special. Lady Muck practically lives in the dust bath. Wifey ignores male chickens but squats for me (constantly ) and also spends a lot of time building tidy nests in all the nest boxes before laying in her usual one, like some stereotype of a good little housewife.

The biggest meat bird I ever raised was called Fatty McNugget.

The Muscovy drakes where I used to live were called Charles Duckens (aka Big Daddy), Edgar Allan Poo (moped around near the house being sad because the others were mean to him) and Edgar Allan Too (EAP's pretty much identical brother).

Lady Lucy Von Bockenston XIV Baroness of all This and That

She's an Australorp that a lady knocked on my door and begged me to take along with a handful of others. I couldn't say no. My husband and oldest son named her.

Beaker is my CL rooster.
Same hairdo as the muppet.

 

[FrostRanger]

One of my birds is named Chocolate Mint (after the mint cultivar)

We have a Dingbat and her sister, Dipstick (BYMs). I'm still not sure, at age 3+, that they know they are chickens. They usually hang out together apart from the flock. Their names tell you everything you need to know about them.

There's also Merida, my SS, also a loner, but only because dhe disdains the flock over which she rules. She's named after the main character in the animated feature Brave, a wild, undisciplined girl. My Merida, no fan of restraint, frequently flies over the fence to freedom, and always approaches me when I'm outside to see if she approves of what I'm doing. Her name is not funny, but she is.
