Is my pekin bantam male or female?

[bokbok]

I am really stuck with finding names for my girls - I am getting two rhodie x sussex , no idea what colour. I had a bit of a google but couldn't come up with anything from that so suggestions would be really welcome

[bellekatz]

Favourite film/tv characters? or perhaps flowers andherbs - old english type names..........

[Guest]

who is your favourite singer/band? Choose some girls names from some of their lyrics maybe or name them after your favourite bands/singers?

 

Mine are named after characters in Tennyson poems (except for Bea who was named before we got her, she's since been re-christened Princess Bea )

[The Dogmother]

They'll probably be reddish with black tail and neck feathers.

Fatima is a usual name, i thought you named her after Fatima Whitbread LOL

 

What about naming them after some of your fav' childhood things??

[The Dogmother]

Our hens are mostly named after songs and singers from the 60s and 70s, my daughter named the bunnies HunnyBunny and Cupcake, the cats are Georgie (after Rosie's BF at the time) and Biscuit because he looks like one.

Fatima/fatty ma

[fairy&cake]

isnt fatty-ma the first thing you think of when you hear it?

 

Or is that because i am completely immature?

 

[ive just done something really immature to ross aswell!]

[fairy&cake]

hehe.

 

Youd know why he called me it if you saw a photo of me pregnant, i looked like a grotesk beast , petite body with huge huge stomach

Mine are all named out of the lyrics of Bohemian Rhapsody - there are plenty of names to choose from! Also I have no girly gene and didnt want anything 'fluffy' if you know what I mean

[The Dogmother]

Fatima always makes me think of Fatima's Hand - moslem symbol of their faith; the 5 fingers stand for the 5 'pillars (rules) of Islam'.

 

But then I used to live in a moslem country.

Rosie has a jewelled Fatima's hand charm, which I bought her when she was little for luck and to protect from evil.

i always meant to ask you, where does "X" come into it? DH and I were discussing this ages ago and went thru the whole song and couldn't work it out

Bizmillah is a Bluebelle gone wrong with an orange chest. So she's a grey cross red chicken.

[Guest]

in your signature, there's an "X" next to one of the chooks

[Rhapsody]

see above, I think Bizmillah's story was slightly before your time at Omlet!

[Guest]

do you know what, that's been bugging me for ages too!

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Took me a while to twig too, Poet. There is no "x" chicken, it's Bizmillah who's a grey crossed with a brown!

 

Oops, almost cross posted!

[hillfamily]

well this is how we thought up all the names for our girls.............

 

Babs........a pepperpot from Omlet named after Babs in 'THe Chicken Run'

 

Ginger........a from Omlet named because of her colour

 

Twinkle.........an Amber Star so, twinkle twinkle little star

 

Belle..........because she's beautiful (she's an Amber Star but with no AS markings)

 

Annie and Clarabel........both rescued ex batts, named after Thomas the Tank Engines carriages which are also the same colour

 

Mabel and Millie the Bantam Babes..........DD and I had a long drive home from Jimmy's Farm (where they came from) to think about these names and just thought they sounded nice for such little babies

 

Gerty.........an ex batt named after Gertrude Jekyll (my fav garden designer)

 

and now we're getting a cube...........so will have to think up some new names as we will get 2 or 3 more girls
