Silkie thread!

[kabhyper1]

Well since everyone is posting names, we have...
Gus (sl/wyandotte), Blueberry (standard cochin)LF roos]

Then there are the LF girls...
Peaches(EE), Godiva(chocolate Australorp), Snickers(minorca), Strawberry and Scarlet (RIR affectionately known as the ginger twins), Lavender(standard cochin) Jules, Pebbles, Pearl (Sl/Wyandotte) The new LF chicks are Cricket (EExWyandotte) Raven (minorcaxwyandotte) and Pickles (SL/Wyandotte)

Booker is my silkie roo, and then the girls are... Luna, Snow, Ashes,Dolly,and Suki.

Other than Chance, Henley,and Belle, the other 8 new silkie chicks are not named. Maybe I should consider anatomical names.

Much better names than my son gave them--Testicle Face, Mini Testicle Face, and Tumour Head for the bantam Cochin and Silkie cockerels.  Sadly, the names for the Cochins (the testicle faces) have stuck even with me.

Those are all so so funny!!!! We have a roo named Brainy a lot like Tumor Head I assume !! Lol

I had Sheldon Chicken Cooper. The reason being: I had to treat Sheldon with Selenium for wry neck
Sheldon's (Big Bang Theory) favorite mineral (?) is Selenium. Sheldon's on "Big Bang Theory)
last name is "Cooper". Therefore, his name was Sheldon Chicken Cooper" Whew!

That is the best thing I have heard all day!! I just literally Lol'd! I was going to name the little silkie I had to help out of the shell sheldon, but silkies are hard to name since you can't sex them for months.

Please keep me updated on him/her. I had to put Sheldon to sleep, never able to breed because of wry neck. Now he has a little namesake And that made MY day

Aww, well his name is for sure Sheldon then. This is "Sheldon Chicken Cooper II"

All of his siblings hatched on a Friday and Saturday, by the next Monday she still had 4 eggs under her. I candled them on Monday and no movement, but left them for another day. On Tuesday I went to check them and she was off the nest showing her other two littles how to eat.. Little Sheldon was pipped and zipped and chirping but his egg was dried out. It was 45 degrees out. I rushed him into the incubator with the other 3 eggs. I wrapped him in a damp paper towel, and when it was damp enough, gently peeled the small end of the egg off where I could see his beak. He had pipped the small end. I decided the best thing for him would be to put him back under momma with the other three eggs, not holding out much hope for him. The next day I hesitantly looked under her thinking the worst, and there was a tiny little blue bumble bee. He didn't have his land legs yet, so I left him alone. The other three eggs never hatched. By Thursday I tossed them. All the babies are inside in a brooder now, since she was a first time mom and lost interest. He is still smaller than everyone else, but strong as an ox. Perfect little toes and a bit of feathering on every one. I think he will always be little.
