What happens when you let your kids name the chickens?

LMAO my 6 year old sister decided to name our new rooster Sweetie, because he is the only one who will let her hold him, therefore he shall be called sweet lmao here he is!

They name from what they know! I can't tell you how many dogs and cats were named Simba and Nala from the Lion King when it first came out.

I have done the same..... guess imm just a kid, too.

I've got Skeksies, Mystic and Fizzgig (the Dark Crystal) Henwyn ( the Black Cauldrin) Wookie and Tantan (star wars) Isis (bob dylan and mythology) Baby Huey, Tweedle Dee and Tweeedle Dum (gold wyandottes, couldn't tell them apart) .Aunt Lou (deadwood)

My kids love Thomas the Train, so when I let my kids name some chickens we end up with. Thomas, Percy.Gordon, James, and Toby.

Not so sure that ladies liked
being named after a railraod. So we have renamed our chickens. But they get to keep Bertie because it is sort of a girls name.

My family and I name our chickies. Sometimes neighborhood children get the task. We never use a friend or family member's name (just in case something happens to the bird).Also last spring I had a "name that chicken" writing contest with my fifth graders at school. It was a persuasive piece, they had to convince me why it would be a good name...rules were: the name had to be female, someone from history, literature or mythology.

I had a pullet named Chicklet before. We also had Charlie for a rooster (he lives at another farm now), and Silly Lilly, a hen with eye and mental problems.
