Tara123 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Hi Peeps, I have just got my girls today and I need some inspiration for there names please. I have a lavender wyandotte, black wyandotte and a brown wyandotte. Please think of some good names for them, as my mind has gone a blank. I will let you all know what I have decided on as soon as I know. Best wishes Tara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little chickadee Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 My mind has also just gone blank. I will get my thinking cap on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 well, you could go for the chicken dinner theme: nugget, korma, jalfrezi or the old lady theme: petunia, mabel, doris (no disrespect to anyone called these names - they are just examples ) or the random boys names eric, dave, george or the TV theme (pick any favourite TV programme and place names here) I would have gone for Kryten, Rimmer, Lister, Cat, Hollie, Skutter, etc either way, if they are anything like ours, they will never come for their name being called happy new girls are there any photos yet????? (we like photos ) cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tara123 Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 Will try and do the pics tomorrow I was thinking the TV theme as well, or the music theme, but can't think of any trio's that I like the names of. Any advice on introducing cats would be a great help too. Not that there were really being introduced, as the cats just came in from the neighbours garden so the poor hens had no choice in the matter. It has already caused them a bit of a scare today and even though they are in a run they did go a bit mad and I'm worried they will hurt themselves in the panic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Something like Pamela, Beryl & Nelly would be comical - or how about Tilda, Tootsie & Tallulah? Some people name theirs after wine. I named my newbies after sweets / chocolate...Rolo, Bounty, Smartie. Hows about after biscuits? Yoyo, Dodger & Snap? Or Crisps? Wotsit, Twiglet & hula? Just a few ideas. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tara123 Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 The problem with choosing chocolate, biscuit or crisps names is that I'm on a diet and don't want to be reminded of what I'm missing out on Then again I could choose fruit and veg names instead Apple, pear and Banana sound good or Lettuce, carrot and tomato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hen Watch Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Hi Tara, Congratulations on the new arrivals and good to see another Berkshire lass on the forum. Names - I think a spot of plagiarism is in order. The forum members on here have called their chickens some great names. So if inspiration alludes you, have a look at what others have done (I'm sure they wouldn't mind). I had a huge list of about 30 or so names before my lot arrived. My children were here when they turned up and as the chickens were brought out by the Omlet delivery man, they were named on the spot by my children without reference to my list. Which is why we come to have the oh so unique "Henny". (But she's MY Henny and lovely really so it doesn't matter.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HennyPenny Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 We chose characters from our favourite TV progs - can you tell?? Before they arrived, DH was very keen on Kylie, Christina and Shakira but our girls looked much more like 'ladies of a certain age' than pop princesses!
