naming

Wasn't sure if this was the right category but oh well. We have 3 chicks, two 6 weeks and one 8 week. I think. They grow up so fast... But the girls need names before they grow up! The red one #3 already has a name (Stella), but the silver lace Wyandotte #1 and the black sex link (??) #3 both...

How many different descriptive words for chickens do you know? Words like chickies, pullets, fowl, etc. I've heard/read people calling them chooks but I have no clue how/where that may have originated, do you?

I woke up earlier than normal today to check on my chicks because of the amount of noise they were making. They're in my room, and I heard tons of scratching and pecking at the walls of their brooder. When I finally pulled myself out of bed, I looked into the brooder to see a HUGE hole they had...

Okay! For anyone who is looking to name birds, there is now a thread! Some people know that I am good at giving pretty, fitting names to birds. My own bird’s names: Everest, Melody, Pepper, June Bug, Nutmeg, Amber, Vanilla, Firefly, Salt, and Blue. I really love naming things, and believe I am...

I have 17 chicks coming in June from McMurray Hatchery and I need some name ideas. I have a few but still need more names. Some of the breeds are Speckled Sussex, True whiting blues, Ameraucanas, and a mystery chick. I also have an Ayam Cemani pullet that I’ve had hopes of becoming a rooster but...

I started building my coop last year while my friends were gutting a house they'd bought. They let me take whatever I wanted from their demolition pile, and I hauled a LOT of stuff away -- lots of odd-sized studs and scraps of plywood. They probably saved me a couple hundred bucks on my coop...

Please help!!! I need names for a sweet little wether (castrated male goat) that I will get this spring! I'm going for silly/weird/cute/old fashioned names that would suit him. He has ltitle bunny ears that stick straight up, is brown/gray/white and is really snuggly but at the same time super...

I have one Golden Comet Pullet and one Production Red (specific to Cackle Hatchery) and I'm having a hard time naming them. I've decided not to take pictures of them yet so they can settle in but I need cool, corny, or cute names for one golden colored pullet and one light red and white pullet...
