What is Your Favorite Word to Describe Your Flock?

[analyticalblonde]

So, I have seen wonderful terms of endearments on BYC that oozes love for each person's girls.

I was just wondering what word or term of love you use when talking about your girls...?

List them away because I would love to see what you call your girls....

I call mine kippies most of the time. This is a Dutch not existing word. Me and my flock are mainly Dutch. So this fits quit wel.

Chickens = kippen. So kippies is something like chickies. .

If they don't listen I call them other names. Like stonme trutten (stupid cows). And if they behave a bit strange I call them tuthola"s. There is no translation for the word tuthola. But you can use it for a young girl/woman who makes a fuss about dressing nicely and spending time on make-up.

My 2 are "cold blooded", I am completely convinced that they would eat me if i was smaller than them. They look at me with one cold blooded eye, they are thinking of a way to kill me. I spoil them to, they give me 2 eggs a day.

I feel like this when I get home.

Here is Moniques death stare

This is her standing on the back of my chair looking for the best way to end me.

Does it HAVE to be the girls???
My cockbirds and cockerels bring me more joy than the hens. I call them my "handsomes".

Employees.

It sounds better than captive egg factories.

Seriously we call them the ladies.

 

[Kdlevesque]

We have 4 Buff Orpingtons so I call them “the Golden Girls”

I call them lil' freaks and my babies. Lil' freaks cause they will eat anything and can find me anywhere even if I don't call them, they see me or hear me walking. I am chased down the driveway and they are very fast. They also walk between my feet like cats and stand on my feet

Girls to their faces; monsters behind their backs.

I call out, My duckie duckies and all my little sweeties come running.
My little hatchlings are my little gators.

I can't but love the way they run...kindof teeter-tottering all the way up to you...it just makes me laugh and think, "What? You did this for me? Do you know how you look? That's me in high heeled shoes!"

This is one of the things I love about chickens, they can always bring a smile to my face or make me laugh out loud. They run so ... absurdly. I know God designed them and they're actually quite efficient, but who can watch a chicken run and not crack up? And how can you not believe God has a sense of humor? No matter what my day is like, chickens just bring me joy.
