Cinnamon Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 We chose flowers,but have now deviated onto garden plants (see below) My daughter Bantams are named for sweeties! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajm200 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 What about spices, biscuit names or foods e.g. Fudge, Toffee and Treacle? Our son insisted on naming ours after his favourite TV characters, fifi and bumble so we went with that as a naming scheme but two have the nicknames dippy and dopey as they aren't blessed with brains.

chickenanne Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 name them after biscuits, or name one Biscuits..? I only ask because mine are called : Humpty, Dumpty, Pertelote, and Biscuits. The first person to guess the significance of Pertelote wins endless literary respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psapie Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Or even name them after one of the seven dwarfs, according to their nature - happy, grumpy, dozy etc. Or something to do with their looks or mannerisms - hoppy, flappy, speedy, noisy etc. What fun!

psapie Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 The first person to guess the significance of Pertelote wins endless literary respect. PERTELOTE is Chauntecleer's favorite hen and his severest critic in The Nun's Priest's Tale. .... or so I believe ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenanne Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 WOW! I'm very impressed - you're right, whe was named after Canterbery Tales. If you knew that rather than googled it, I'm even more impressed ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen&Rog Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Ours have been named after Beatles' wives, and our next 'intake' will be Marianne and Bianca (Mick Jagger's WAGs). Maybe you could name them after characters in your favourite TV prog? Also I noticed someone named their hens after the dancers in Strictly Come Dancing, very funny.

LJ's Chooks Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 be careful what you name them... you suddenly will realise they take on the character... Our GNR's are called Ginger... cos she is, and Pickle cos she was a pickle from the moment she came out of the box and scratched me straight away. Then we have maisy, Tori (after harry and his bucket full of dinosaurs) she's flighty just like the character and very noisy. Lilly... well lilly rapidly became lilly savage, cos she was, Root is just Root... 3 year old humour and finally he named our blue araucana Snow angel, two reasons ... he loved making snow angels when we had all the snow, but as she and root were rescued from over passionate cockrells she certainly is 'SNOW Angel' ... so be careful what you wish for with names Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 We originally chose X-Files - Mulder and Scully Then foodstuffs - Treacle and Toffee Our latest girls are Harry Potter related - Muggle and Squib The options are endless! Have fun naming your girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdp1673 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Our first four were named after Buffy characters (buffy, willow, tara and Faith), then after the fox had them we named the next four after more but minor characters. God knows what we are calling the rest when they arrive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
