Chickens!

We are finishing up our chicken coop and I promised my older daughter that age could name the chickens when we get them.

Send me your suggestions for chicken names! Mostly hens but a couple of roosters too!

So far we have [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] and Gerdie…

Thanks!!

We used spice names for some of our chickens. We have Nutmeg, [name_f]Ginger[/name_f], Paprika, [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] and [name_u]Pepper[/name_u]. Our others are named [name_u]Gary[/name_u] and [name_u]Sam[/name_u] (both hens named by my little sisters).

We’re soon to have chickens, too! The girls will be: [name_f]Hyacinth[/name_f], [name_f]Maud[/name_f] and [name_f]Agatha[/name_f] and the boys will be: [name_m]Edward[/name_m], [name_m]Richard[/name_m] and [name_m]Henry[/name_m].

We used to have chickens (most of which met cruel deaths; we made a song for the nephews, “the Bobcat chased the Chicken” to the tune of “The Monkey chased the Weasel”) These were their names:

[name_f]Bertha[/name_f]
[name_f]Helga[/name_f]
[name_f]Eunice[/name_f]
[name_f]Gretchen[/name_f]
[name_f]Doris[/name_f]

Suggestions for the roosters (quirky & distinguished):

[name_m]Edgar[/name_m]
[name_m]Harvey[/name_m]
[name_m]Lloyd[/name_m]
[name_u]Ollie[/name_u] (Sir [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]?)
[name_m]Wilfred[/name_m]
[name_m]Heinrich[/name_m]
[name_m]Wenceslaus[/name_m]
