Strangest and Silliest Chicken Names?

[UrbiePuss]

We have three hens all with unusual names. The first two are "Ever-ready", and "Duracell" named after popular brands of batteries (all my chickens are rescued from battery farms). The third is called Shroedinger, after Shroedingers Cat. (Look it up on Internet) he was a physicist who had the idea that if you put a cat into a box (long complicated bit about radioactive isotopes here) anyway if radioactive material was detected a vial of poison would be released and would kill the cat. The main point is that if you wrote the really long equation to show this the cat could be both alive and dead at the same time because you wouldn't know til you opened the box. (I'm sure someone could explain this much better - I'm not a physicist). But our chicken has a similar thing going with eggs. At the point where we open the coop there can be eggs or no eggs - seemed funny at the time.

We have Ginger (Buff Orpington), MaryAnn (Black Austrailorp), and Mrs Howell (White Leghorn) if we had a Rooster I'd name him Skipper, but we are illegal in the Burbs so no Roosters for us!

 

[Harriet&Lucy]

Eulalie was named for the mayor's wife in The Music Man. The rest of the hens are named after suffragists: Harriet, Lucy, Edith, Muriel, and Dora.

Our first batch of ducks were named after their colleagues in slug killing: Morton (salt), Guinness (beer), Fiskars (scissors) and Sluggo.
The current ones are first ladies: Eleanor, Lady Bird, and Mamie. Sadly, Mary Todd died within hours. (shipping problem)

The names of our girls:

Rosie (very tiny - maybe Dutch?- bantam) got her name from "Rosie's Walk"a picture book by Pat Hutchens

After her the names got sweet . . . really sweet . . .
Honey - Rhode Island Red
Agave - Ameraucana (name morphed into Aggie)
Sugar - Brown Leghorn
Molasses - Black Sumatra Bantam (funny thing is that she's the fastest one! Greased lightning!)

We are very new to owning chickens but we love them. My children named area roo Blonde(we did think he was a she), then we have Black-n-yellow, a Biscuit, and a Secretariat just to name a few.

I've got a silkie pullet (I hope! she's 4 months and looking girlie so far) and her name is Pickle. I have no idea why- but I can't say her name without giggling. I think it started last year when we planted pickling cucumbers and I kept calling it "pickle bush" I literally got more chickens so that I could name one Pickle

We have a RIR Rooster named *Flower* Needless to say he was supposed to be a girl lol

Quote:
Ha I love "Buffy the Egglayer"! I have a hen named Spidey cuz looking down on her in my hand she looked like a tarantula when she was just a couple of days old with her still egg shaped and black body and smaller head. My fave name is a member's dad's childhood white leghorn rooster called "The Teaberry Shuffle" for the sideways dance he did while preparing to attack.

ps a rooster named Flower has gotta be one tough chicken.

Our chickens all have food names, just in case...

My daughter named two of our last batch Samantha and Eleanor- definitely NOT food related.

When questioned she replied "Don't worry, we'll call them by their nick names- SAM and ELLA".

edited for spelling, as usual
