My chickens with names are:
Columbie (Columbian Wyandotte hen-- very sweet, and knows some tricks!)
Silver (Silver-Laced Wyandotte hen--bossy and third-in-command of the backyard flock)
Red (Rhode Island Red--lead hen)
Easter (Easter Egger hen--sweet and at the bottom of the pecking order)
Cream (Bantam White Wyandotte--lead hen of the bantam flock)
Pip (Light-Brown Dutch Bantam hen--named because she always makes chirping/pipping noises)
Puff (Bantam White Wyandotte cock--a gentle cock that loves his hens. His name is Puff because his mate's name is Cream)
Stalker (an arrogant White Wyandotte Bantam cockerel that struts around a lot and is rather mean)
Prince (Light-Brown Dutch Bantam cock--struts around a lot, and is kind of mean. He acts like a prince.)
Tuck (Light-Brown Dutch Bantam cock--sweet cock that is kind to his hens. He always acts submissive and is quite lovable)
Pompey (Light-Brown Dutch Bantam cockerel--little cockerel that has an inquisitive, hen-like temperament. This bird was named because of his pompous nature)
Duckfoot (Light-Brown Dutch Bantam pullet--this chicken got her name because when she hatched, it looked like she would have a deformity called duckfoot. It
turned out that she did not, but the name stuck)
Perfect Point (Light-Brown Dutch Bantam--this bird has a perfect comb for her breed, so that is why she got her name)
4-point (LB Dutch cockerel--has four points on his comb. He is very gentle, just like his father, Tuck)
Greenhead (LB Dutch cockerel--named because we marked him when he was a chick with a drop of green food coloring on his head)
6-point (LB Dutch cockerel--has six points on his comb. Arrogant and very similar to his father, Prince)
Birds no longer with us (sold, not dead):
Cinnamon (Light-Brown Dutch Bantam hen--an extremely pretty bird that was second-in-command to Cream. She was always assertive of her place in the pecking order, and was named because of her coloring)
Bluey (Blue-Light-Brown Dutch Bantam hen--Pip's sister. Always sweet and tame, and very pretty. She as sold to a good home with Cinnamon)
Birds without real names:
#90 (White Wyandotte Bantam pullet--doesn't have a real name yet, but may be called Angel in the future)
#86 (White Wyandotte Bantam pullet--might be called Lily)
Little pullet (Light-Brown Dutch Bantam pullet--not named because we will be getting rid of her soon)
Dead birds
:
Tiny (White Wyandotte Bantam pullet--a sweet, intelligent chicken that was younger than the rest and therefore called tiny. She died of a respiratory illness)
Naked Neck (LB Dutch Bantam pullet--inquisitive, small pullet that died at around 10 weeks of age. She was always a runt, and had some feathering problems, but she was a good little bird)
Yellow One (White Wyandotte Bantam--a chick that was named because of his/her yellow coloring. It died at about three weeks old.)
