Egluntyne Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 There is a whole section in the WIKI dedicated to suggestions for chicken names if you need inspiration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

memphisto Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I have a Ruby, so I am biased and my daughter was going to be Scarlet but OH put his foot down! Egluntyne- I MUST find this chicken naming section on Wiki!

Gloss-Hen Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 I have got them and WILL hopefully upload some pics tonight there names are splodge and Pom- Pom i did want to call one scarlett but when we got there the lady said she wasn't sure if the red one was a girl so I was like no we can't have another cock as the one we already own is quite territorial So in the end I chose a small partridge silkie and a big partridge silkie. They are gorgeous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scentedsoaps Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Oh the joys of chicken naming. After much deliberation we came up with these for ours:- Bluebelle=Belle (i named this one) White Star=Agent Clucky (10year old son - likes spies) Black Rock=DJ Dippers (9year old son) 2 Lohmans=Bert and Ernie (sadly Bert is no longer with us - boys chose these names) Last but not least we have a Light Sussex which the OH chose and decided to call it Roy, Roy of all names!!
