One thing I always find amusing is reading the names people come up with for their chickens.  Henrietta seems the most popular.

My girl already had the name 'Lily' (she's white) but then I moved on to 'Greta' (she want to be alone and she tap tap taps on my bl**dy window pane) but now she's 'Henny Hen' - which seems to be just right.

Would love to hear more names....

I am a country and western fan, so named my girls after female singers....Loretta, Elkie, Stella, Dolly....oh, and Fran, (no specific singer)......Dolly is one of the greediest and always has the biggest crop just before bedtime!  None of them sing, but all now suit their names, and Loretta is the only one who will actually run over when i call her name.....a bag of mealworms gets the others attention!!

Our newest girls are called Amber, Daisy, Rosey and Pip. Our 3 new exbats are Orange chicken, Green hen and Pinky (named after their leg rings.

[symonep]

  ours don't have names! No idea why really but just never named any of them.

[nerdle]

Its was that 'Dierdre Rashid' notice that got me started   Symonep - they must have terms of endearment then...   of is it hen1 and hen2?

My friend names her dogs after tennis players - Roger and Venus (would rather not yell that word out in public)

[andy46]

My first two girls where called Thelma and Louise from the film then we bought two more and called them penny and fat lilly,  she is bigger than all the rest.

[symonep]

They are known by colour, we have the big white one, little white one, blue ringed one....you get the idea  we really should name them though!
