I need to see who Q-Tip, Chonky and Gimpy are I love these names so much !

Q-Tip, she’s a splash polish.

Chonky, I think she’s an Olive Egger.

And Gimpy, also possibly an Olive Egger or black Ameraucana.

My naming protocol usually ranges from names chosen for the bird's country of origin to TV or book characters.

Current flock is Camille (of French heritage); Evie, Audrey and Valentina (actually American TV); Isabel, Ophelia and Ursula (the I.O.U. girls); Alice and Cora (sisters from "The Last of the Mohicans"); Josephine (after the Empress, of course); Lucille (a red hen, named for Lucille Ball); Bronwyn (Speckled Sussex had to have an old British name); Millicent ("Call the Midwife"); Liesel (German breed); Lavinia ("Downtown Abbey"); Arabella ("Miss Scarlet and the Duke"); Pip and Squeak (named by someone else!); and Prudence, Gwendolyn, Daphne, Dottie and Lydia (just vintage names I like).

Ooo love!
We’ve got a very mixed flock of names… but I’m loving the ideas here! I love the vintage names too we did an old lady name trend for a bit (those birds were rehomed mostly). But it was definitely a theme we had going haha.

I wonder if I can just do q-tip 1 through to 7

You might have to number their leg bands then to keep them straight!

We currently have a mix of geeky names and old fashioned names
Current flock girls:
Torchic, Pidgey, and Onix are all Pokemon
River Song from Dr Who
Wanda from the Avengers
Pippin from LotR
Toff and Zuko (when she hatched, she was missing a patch of feathers around her eye that matched Zuko's scar almost exactly) are from the Last Airbender
Artemis and Minerva(she reminded us of a barn owl as a baby)
Cricket - she was very tiny as a baby - Silver Leghorn
Shadow - she is a very dark barred EE
Holly, Clover, Sage, and Violet - names that we love and seemed to fit them

boys- Blue because he had a blue leg band as a chick
Ron, Blue's half brother, had an orange legband and referenced a Potter Puppet Pals video where Snape calls Ron the orange one
Ezra - from Star Wars Rebels. His siblings were Sabine and Wren, but are sadly no longer with us.
