Egluntyne Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Have been to Little Morton Farm again. Am racking my brains trying to think of whimsical names for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindafw Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 The herb group perhaps?? Rosemary Thyme Sage Chive Marjoram etc or the spices Nutmeg Cinnamon Anise Carroway Cardamon etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chick wiggle Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Oh they are lovely Egluntyne, so cute bless them. Looking out the window at the moment, how about,... Drizzle, Raindrop, Rainbow and Cloud? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 My daughter has suggested a Downton Theme on facebook, so they are Mary, Edith, Sybil, Cora and Violet. Have't decided which is which yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

counturchickens Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Brilliant idea for the names, I think this might start a trend. I wonder if there is a list for most popular chicken names like there is for children Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Mrs Chicken Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Lovely girls,i'm going to get some new girls from there next week ,have they got lots of girls to choose from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 Yes. They have three or four big sheds, and more hens in several outside areas. They are very knowledgeable and helpful, and all the hens I've had from them have been beautiful, and in excellent condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Lovely girls and names Egluntyne We have a marans bantam called Violet... she's been nicknamed Violent as she's a beastly pecker. I've 'moved her away' with the side of my boot a couple of times when she's tried it with me. I keep her in the run when next door's kiddies come round for chicken cuddling.
