What did you name your chicks?

[catchthewind]

Not all of ours are named yet. I find it hard to name them when I don't know what gender they are, though we do have a couple of pullets with "boy" names (Gandalf and Einstein). The ones that are names are: Bonnie and Clyde (two EE's, we are pretty sure one is a pullet and the other is a cockerel, the for sure pullet was actually named Bonnie a long time ago, Clyde just fit once we started suspecting he is a roo), Gandalf, Kallie, Einstein, Raven, Buffy (a BO my 3 year old named), Ginger, Nutmeg, Popcorn, Peanut, and Jag (an Ameraucana with jaguar-like markings, another my three year old named).

We'd originally wanted to go with some sort of theme (food, or mythology, or old lady names), but they don't all fit the same theme so that got dropped pretty quickly.

Ours are: Maybelle Mini Shirley Lassy Sugar Daisy Betsy and Laura. Goodluck!

My 3 chicks were named with names that could go either way or with 1 boy and 1 girl name. We have Angel (who is turning out to be a roo), Penny Wilson and Lucy Reptar (the dinasour from Rugrats, named by my daughter and he is turning out to be a roo too).

 

[chick-n-momma]

Mine are Ginger, Dixie, Lucy, Bella, Alice, and Rosalie

We have 3 BO and we are naming them (once we can tell them apart!) Lily, Daisy, and Buttercup. OR if the kids will finally give in and let me: Daisy, Buttercup, and FAJITA, which I think is hilarious, but traumatizes the kids (ours are pets, NOT for eating).

My little silkie started out as zena the warrior princess but then changed it to pickles because she was to sweet for a tough girl name lol
