pbfhpunk Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 Ok so I've already posted today and there's pictures of my new arrivals on that thread also loads more on my flickr site http://www.flickr.com/photos/pbfhpunk/ But I felt that their names needed a whole thread of it's own! Basically I was sat at work a few months ago and just had a wicked naming idea, my husband and I love music and he's really into old school hip hop and I quite like it to, so thought how cool would the hip hop chickens be, we had names already thought og for ages but now since meeting them a few of the names have changed but we have So we have HenWA (Hens with Attitude) Compton - Bluebelle - Named after the song Straight outta Compton so on the egg boxes we can put....straight out of Compton! Run - Speckledy - This is the little tartlet that has a crush on my Husband, she'd named after Rev Run from RunDMC as she was the most curious of all and checked out the food, the grub the grit and ahem my husband before the other's so who's house is it? Run's House! Sovereign - Black Rock - this one is a very vocal little madam, and a tad chav as she would've had an ASBO in the first 5 minutes if we'd been able to give her one, she's named afer Lady Sovereign not old school but a very chavvyesque hip hop artist DJ - Rhode Island Red - Every good hip hop group has got to have a DJ and as all she did today was scratch in the earth she is our's! Egg Lover - Speckledy - named after Ed Lover who hosted Yo MTV raps! and of course the most famous white rapper ever... Eggenem - Bluebelle - How could we not have had this name!! So there you go my Hip Hop Chickens! Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hen Watch Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 But I felt that their names needed a whole thread of it's own!.................So there you go my Hip Hop Chickens! You've completely lost me on the names thing....but then I suppose for someone who harks back to music of the 80s that's not unexpected..... Great pictures. Very posh railway sleepers around the egde....lovely idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abbey Road Girl Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 If it's not uncool, may I say ? Loved everything about your naming, but especially eggenem! Chooks bring joy, the more the better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbfhpunk Posted April 26, 2008 Author Share Posted April 26, 2008 (edited) I pretty much am a music child of the 80s myself but I think naming them after Adam and his Ants wouldn't have worked!! Run, Compton and Egglover hark back to the 80's Oh yeah and the sleepers cost £2 each!! there was me thinking that with all the garden design shows they'd be more like £20-£30 but apparantly the more expensive ones aren't original just nice bits of wood sold to Yuppies!! not my words!

Egluntyne Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Fascinating. I did notice the names....but am too old to have recognised any of them. Thanks for the explanation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fur 'n' Feathers Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Great girls, names & set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebird Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 So glad you finally got your ladies and I suspect your names are unique and not to be found anywhere else on this forum I'm a bit boring - I called mine after family members and a couple of dancers. It would be interesting to do a poll to find out the ten most popular chicken names. Enjoy your girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I admire your inspired choice of names, but far too old to be a fan of hip hop. 60s/70s is more my era. I have heard of some of them though. My daughter was a big Eminem fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
