What is Your Favorite Word to Describe Your Flock?

[BaaKaaawk]

BAAKAAAAAAAWK!!!!

Pretty dull I'm afraid. Each one has a name and that's what they get called.
I have a collective name for the hens which is the hysterical tarts.

These are GREAT!!! What a fun thread!

Mine are: biddies, chook-chooks, chickie-bawk-bawks, big girls/guys, the babies. The 3 new chicks are the Monochrome Gang. But I usually just call them all kids:
"Hi, kids."
"Can you pick up some more food for the kids?"
"Gotta put the kids to bed."
"Why can't you kids be nice to each other?"

I'm sure you get the idea...

I call our rooster Stewart long for stew.

The ducks are Quackers. I quack and they come running, which I call a quack attack. (We have 18 females, 22 total)

Seramas are tiny chickens

Silkies are fur rugs (its hot here and they just flatten out)

Ayam Cemani are my lovlies (devilish tone though)

O Shamo are hatching now, but I've been thinking about... security crew, scaries, or just plain AHHH! The last one assuming they are chasing me.

Individually most of them have names, but I tend to name the breeds/group too. Collectively though it's just birds.

OMG...do you feed them? I'm dying here...the visuals are quite disturbing but absolutely intriguing! My sweeties are not quite so primitive (spoiled to the core) but I have seen some National Geographic videos of chickens eating mice whole in one gulp! Still, a part of me respects their relinquishing way of taking care of business!

Yup. We give them fresh corn, seed, lettuce and all sorts of greens but they still insist on hunting mice.

My last flock before they were murdered by a fox would come to “chook, chook,chookies” and then I would bring them in to bed. I will send you a pic of my chicken set ups and trust me when I say they are well looked after...

 

[Golden Chicken Master]

I call my Rooster: Roo baby, Roo master, Roo...
My ladies: I tagged a few and the one is 007 so I call her that as she comes to me constantly, but theres a lot of them so usually it's just Hi ladies! Sexy ladies, pretty girls, etc... Yep I am crazy!

Just like us, they're omnivores, and meat taste delicious. Personally I've never really ate a mouse, but I could imagine them liking it. I know our cat does. Doesn't really sound very strange to me.
