bronze Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I had planeed my chickens names (well Betty and Peggy) before I came on here but I noticed they're both very popular. My three are named after my two Grandmothers and my mil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looney Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Mine are named after my Grandma and my OH's Grandma. We chose these as Gwen (the human) doesn't like chickens - luckily she saw the funny side of having one named after her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JellyB Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 My first two are Gertrude and Mabel - I'd picked the names before they arrived - don't know why, I just liked them. Daisy was already called that when I got her and I didn't want to change it. My 2 ex-batts are Ziggy and Stardust as I am big fan of the wonderous Mr Bowie OH didn't really approve of Queen B1tch (imagine shouting that down the garden ) and Lady Grinning Soul is a bit ofa mouthful but if I get any more then......

feemcg Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 My first 3 are Disney Princesses - thanks to Anna (aged 7)! The next 2 are Scottish islands, and I want to continue that theme with the next 2 or 3 I get/hatch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 My big girls are all flowers & the little Bantams are sweets (the daughter named them!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I gave mine all Victorian girls names because that seemed to me to suit their dear fluffy bottoms and girly walks: Betsy, Queenie, Maud and Daisy. I also had a Gloria for a few months. A short list for any new additions includes: Adelaide, Mabel, Beatrice and Florence. Love em! Cookie. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am a massive Correr (not Corrie...that's for southerners) fan. You'll have to get a Fizz and a Violet next...or maybe an Amber....Dev's Daughter...she's wonderful. Well worth naming a chicken after.
