What are Your Chickens Named?

Our Rooster, a sizzle, is Porkchop. I tried to explain to my daughter, who named him, that was too many food terms for a bird I’m not allowed to eat. But to no avail. Our fuzzy gray silky is Pepper, and the buff silky (RIP) was Wookie. 3 Columbian Wyandottes: Bonnie, Clyde and Parker. 2 RRs Red and Garnet. And my personal favorite, although I’m guessing not all that original, (buff) Orpington Annie.

Porkchop... at least they said he was a sizzle. i'm not so sure. but he is very sweet and such a good Father
 
My "flock" originated with two Production Reds, one named Josey Wales and the other, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. Unfortunately, Lucy flew the coop and went over the fence into the jaws of a mini-Pinscher. Then I trimmed flight feathers. Lucy's replacement came in the form of a gift, a favorolle who was white with rust-colored "petals". We called her Little Flower, "Flo" for short. Josey and Flo became best friends until a neighborly owl separated Flo's head from her body in a mess of white feathers in the chicken yard. I went searching for another tea-party-partner for Josey, and found an ameracauna in dark-colored, paisley feathers, one who might deceive the owl into thinking she was actually leaves on the ground. We named her Priscilla. Josey and Prissy are now best of friends and have survived for over six months together. My grandkids and II love the green eggs!
 
We got our first batch of chicks (all hens) and our eight year old son has named them. 2 Wyandottes: Christine (after his Grandmother- she was reluctantly honored) and John Deacon (after the bassist of Queen); 2 Silkies: Missy and Professor Poopypants; and 2 Barred Rocks: Buster Keaton and Anonymous. It's amazing how different their personalities are from each other and how they distinguish themselves. Of course, it's easy to keep track of six girls.
