What are your Chickies names?! ALSO,what IS this LIGHT YELLOW ONE?!!

[cheshie]

This little girl's name is Hana (Hauna) and she was sold to me as an Ameraucana. I suspect that she is in fact an Easter Egger, but that's okay with me. Does anyone have input on what they think she may be?

This precious baby is named Miku (Me-Koo) and she is a Barred Plymouth Rock.

This sweetie is named Yuki (You-key) and she is also a Barred Plymouth Rock.

This is just a fun picture of my three little girls. I purchased them 3/25 so I suspect they are now 5 days old (if they were sent right after hatching on 3/24). They are a real joy to watch and can keep me entertained for hours. As for the names, my daughter is very interested in Japanese culture and she chose the names.

The kids named some of our chickens. They are all named after Chicken food dished. Like, Rueben, Cordon, Terikyaki, etc and then we have one that I named. She's a Frizzle and itty bitty. Her name is "Goner" because she was dead (atleast I swear she was) and she was going to be burried and the box cheeped. So, I set up an ICU in my kitchen and she has lived on my kitchen counter in a crate until I thought it was okay to put her back with the rest of the frizzle chicks.

I see what your talking about in thinking its a roo. I had a chick that I swore was a roo but she is all girl.

mine dont have names per se. But I do call them something to differentiate.


mean rooster aka "soup"
lady chicken -teeny tiny little bantam smaller than a nerf football. Vry sweet. A proper lady indeed.
noisy chicken - constantly grumbling crotchety old bantam "you darn kids!!!" And lady chicken's best friend. She doesnt lay anymore. But she'll try to sit on anything that even remotely resembles an egg. She also crows like a miserable sounding roo. She has identity issues....
green-eyed chicken aka dingbat - shes not too bright, her heads too sm. for her body, she is too dumb to come in from out of the rain, and she is also my best layer. She lays around 9-10 eggs per week. No joke
bigger hen - much larger in comparison to green eyes. nothing else to say 'bout her


and we have had:

slow chicken - unfortunately too slow, she got eaten by something
"other" rooster - the lesser roo. hit the highway, to his demise
escapee chicken - also got eaten by something. She was like Houdini. I swear she could walk thru walls
nomad chicken - a random visiting hen that came and went. Was not mine, but here and there I would find her in the yard with mine and even sometimes she would roost with them in the coop. Even laid an egg a few times for us, always on the ground tho and white ones. My girls lay brown. when mine got to be full fledged adults they would gang up on her, and apparently she knew she had outworn her welcome. She just stopped visiting one day.
scaredy chicken-was very skittish and also at bottom of pecking order. She lived in fear of anything that moved, and her timidity made her a target. She was re-homed to someone with a much bigger flock, and she is doing better, blending in with dozens of birds is easier on her than trying to fit in with a sm handfull
bad a** rooster - gave his life to protect the rest. Took on a neighbors german shepherd that pulled out of his collar. He was a tough cookie. He killed anything he didnt like. Snakes, chipmunks, a small opossum, baby rabbits, and attempted to kill a big dog. That dog was cut on his eye and leg, under his chin too so says the neighbor...that roo Im sure put up a heck of a fight. once he was gone, the mean roo "aka soup" took his spot. And got meaner and meaner. Soon he'll be soup....

Plus the dozen babies. They all look the same to me. Except the one I cleaned pasty butt on daily for days. pretty sure hes a cockerel. Only real reason I can tell him from the rest is cuz I trimmed his behind to ease the poop cleaning job. It was not easy. Been calling him Pastey. I think we are going to keep him. He was handled alot due to the butt and is pretty partial to me. I think we will call him Elmer, after the glue/paste brand.
and theres another one that has dark nostrils on a yellow beak. Calling her boogers.

I also had a difficult time picking names. The creative thoughts just weren't coming. Once in a while I would come up with a really awesome name, but I'd forget what it was. Names are just one of those things that I suck at. I'm forgetting peoples' names all the time, so eventually decided to keep it simple.

I had some meat chickens and called Dinner and the ones that got too old for being dinner started getting called Stock. It helped me keep perspective and make butchering easier.

Of the egg laying breeds I have a Black Australorp named Blackie; a partridge colored EE named Lucy (she's a red head); a California White (white with black spots) named Nellie (she's boldly inquisitive and Nellie came out of 'Whoa Nellie' when she'd be investigating something she shouldn't); and the last one is a Light Brahma like colored EE named BA, which is short for Bad A** (My son named her that because it looked like she had a racing stripe down her head as a chick. Its kinda funny because she turned out to be the biggest sissy of the flock.).

Have fun picking names for yours.
