What's Your Chickens names and Why are they named that?

[jeb251]

I hatched some lavender orpingtons about six weeks ago and the largest roo was named conrad by my daughter, I dont have any idea where she came up with it but I think its kind of cute

I have a comet pullet that my 3 yr old named Peanut butter chocolate.
A possible brown leghorn pullet that my husband named Jenny
A pretty sure buff orpington rooster named Buffy
A possible gold lace wynndott pullet my 6 yr old named Comet
A probable rhode island red pullet named Red
2 black sex link pullets I currently call the twins (not twins I just call them that)

And 3 assorted roosters that are going to live someplace else so I am not naming them.

I finally decided to name mine when I was confident they were girls and therefore staying:

Large Marge: Iowa Blue
Dr. Beverly Crusher: BLRWyandotte
Bathsheba: Barred Rock
Elvira: Barred Rock
Constance: Buff Cochin
Temperance: Buff Cochin
Amelia Earhart: Easter Egger
Admiral Grace Hopper: Easter Egger

I named them by staring at them and wondering what their names were. The last one looked like an Admiral to me, so I had to do some research on who was the first female Admiral.

My two older than dirt ISAs are Crusty and Blondie.

Shaniqua and Jamal-my two Polish

 

[Tallgirl17]

I have 8 chicks. 4 I named and the other 4 my boys named. They are...Lenore,Lucille, Amelia, Greta, Toothless, Bling Bling Hen, Sweetheart & Fuzzy Buddy. I bet you can't guess which ones my boys named?!

Lucy & Ethel- 2wo of my Easter Eggers. Lucy has more red in her feathers, Ethel has more grey in her feathers.
Esther- my scissor-beaked Easter Egger. "Esther" sounded like "Easter" to me. Real original, I know.
Oprah- my Buff Orpington. She's a browinsh color and is SO likeable.
Monica, Rachel & Phoebe- my 3 bantam Cochin Frizzles. Monica is black, Rachel is reddish/brown and Phoebe is white.
Marsha, Jan & Cindy- our three Barred Rocks. I couldn't tell them apart for about 8 months!
Freida-my white Silkie. She's very skittish and afraid of everything ("'fraidy cat" translated to "Freida")
Agnes-my Black Australorp. Just b/c the name was old fashioned and started with the letter "A" as does "Australorp".
Martha- our White Plymouth Rock. The only bird my husband named. She's large & very matronly and the top of the pecking order.
Betty-was our Blue Splash Silkie who turned out to be a roo. We re-homed her.
Petunia-was our Barred Rock who turned out to be a roo. Is now living a second life with fly fishermen in New England.

Madonna- my Blue Splash Marans. She was my "superstar" egg in the 'bator, developing textbook style.
Windy- my Blue Splash Marans. She had a rough hatch, requiring help on day 21 after an 8 hour power-outtage on day 20 due to a wicked wind storm.

There is a method to the madness.

Peach - New Hampshire Red Pullet (the lighter one)
Daisy- New Hampshire Red Pullet (the darker one)
Mario - New Hampshire Red Cockerel

and some kind of Buff Orpington-ish pullet - how did THAT get in there?

She is still unnamed as she is soooooooo different from the rest of the flock.

 

[MamaDoula]

Not all of ours are named yet, but a few have earned names...

Olive- my olive legged mutt chicken who's a sweetheart
Jezebel- my evil Cuckoo Marans, who ironically narrowly escaped getting eaten by a fox
Magdeline- my barred rock whom sometimes gets too big for her britches, and whom I regularly threaten
Esmerelda- barred rock who's really lovely and flouncy
Elizabeth- BO, dd named her
Sooty Foot- black sex link
Funny Face- Araucana/EE
Thelma and Louise- two blue laced red wyandottes
