it's been so much fun reading all these great names!!! i like the old fashioned names too. but i also like completely unusual names....i came across the names Imelda and Cordelia on a website today. i don't know if i'll use them, but i thought they were neat. i think if i have a silkie showgirl i'll name her Myrtle (cuz they kinda look like a turtle with that neck....and it rhymes)....or Agnes or Eunice for the showgirl. still thinking though.....keep all these great names coming! they're fun to read!

I haven't named all my current girls. I kind of name them as i get to know them.

Rocky - my rir rooster
Zebu - my up and coming baby barred rock rooster (zebu is short for zebra because barred rocks look striped)
Superchick - a rir hen who was a runt but always strong and ahead of the pack

I'm still trying to find good names for two broody hens i have right now - including one who loves my shoulder and has ever since she was a little tiny chick.
 
I have 2 Polish hens and 2 roosters:
Gold/black hen: Wilma
Black hen: Betty
Black Rooster: Fred
White Rooster: Barney

hehe:gig
I love the Flinstones & the Rubbles!!!
