What do you call yours? Or don't you!!

[veggiechicken]

Just curious to know whether you name your hens and if so what !!
Racking my tiny brain cell at the moment

Of course they are named, they are members of the family....

My Black ones (Rhode Rocks) are all called "Blackie," my Beechwood Blue are all called "Bluey," the Speckledies are called "Speckly," the Sussex Rangers are called "Whitey" unless they're broody, then I'm not so polite, and all the ex-Batts are called Doris!

That's sounds like the bit in "Finding Nemo", when Coral wants to name all her thousands of eggs, and Marlin says "We'll call this half Coral, and this half Marlin"

I had a chicken as a child...one my granddad couldn't catch.. Her name was Cfor

I used to keep banties. I had a cockerel called Cato, because he used to leap out at everyone from ambush, like Cato in the Pink Panther films. Then I had one so black he shone blue-green in the sun - he was called Lucifer. A broody bantie who defended her 15 chicks from all-comers was named Boadicea. All my banties only acquired names as their characters became clear.

Remembering the names of 30 ponies, 5 goats, and a couple of suckler cows was enough, without naming two dozen banties as well. Ah, happy days they were....

We don't name the girls as we have too many and most of them look the same although my kids, while in primary school named one cockerel Bus driver, after their school bus driver (scary and very large) The chicken died a few years ago but every time I see that driver I still think of my chicken.

My friends chickens are named just that! With Kentucky and Roast in there somewhere as well.
