Names you gave to your hens, vs roosters

[Ingrid_Grace]

All mine get human names and the more old-fashioned, the better. I use a 1970s Webster Dictionary that has a list of given names and I'll browse that until I come across something that suits a particular bird.

I have nineteen birds so far, but if you would like their names, I'll gladly post them .

I'd love to hear! (You don't have to if it's too many lol)

Only ever had two roosters. Bruce, or “Brooster Rooster” who had to be rehomed to the table for his relentless aggression and was not very much missed after the fact, and Pedestrian, who’s name befit him in every way, especially after he was shot for trespassing on my neighbor’s croquet green.
