trying to figure out a name for my project birds

[stephanie1992]

Im trying to figure out a name to call my project birds. This is my first project. I do not wanna call them EES because im breeding out the EE. They are Buff orp/Wyandotte/Ameracana crosses.(4th generation of selective breeding)
I have a roo and two hens. They are Rose combed not Pea Combed. Have white legs. and lay light brown eggs. They come bearded and not bearded. it is a project so they are not perfect. one hen i kept for breeding has a single comb but has the best beard i want.

We named our three Huevo,(spanish for egg), Peep, and nugget. People seem to smile when we tell them the names...good luck!

Well, that is a possibility, but many are named for traits or things completely undescernable (faverolle? marans? houdan? polish (which originated in Italy)? lakenvelder? dorking? etc.

Faverolles and Houdan are both names of towns or regions near where the breeds were developed. I think Lakenvelders are also named for a region and maybe Dorkings, too.
