now that our chicks are 4 weeks old we are starting to think of what we might call them in the future. We still don't know their sexes yet so no names will stick just yet, well all exept one who has been called Scrufty since it hatched.
Scrufty hatched a while after the rest and instead of fluffing up it waw a sticky kind of chick that spiked up instead and has looked scruffy ever since.
We were talking about names this morning (the kids and I) but I just can't imagine calling out to them- Scrufty, fidget, boco and lil!!! 

How did you name your chickens?

[GrannieAnnie]

Not many of ours have names, but some of the rescues and the cockerels already had names when they came here, so:

Rocky the LS cross has his 4 ladies, Chalky the LS, Buffy the Buff Orp, Goldy the goldline and Welly the Welsummer.

Then there is Bertie Rooster the RIR, and the LS cockerel we re-homed I called Jeeves!  Then Rosa and Bella the white silkies were already named by Cara, and Klaus the gold silkie cockerel.

None of the others have names though!

Atilla the Hen - She's got attitude
Korma - This encourages her to lay.
Chalky - She's completely white.

[arugula]

So in fact Korma might answer to any name: Jalfrezi, Curry, Roast, Pie....

Exactly.

Of course we are chickenless at the moment, but we prefer descriptions - generally related to colour or markings -  rather than names. But yes I appreciate, this can get difficult if there are lookalikes etc.

[CluckyChicken]

Clucky- Light Sussex.  Named as she used to cluck all day long   
Spot - she is spotty 
Salt and Pepper - two of Araucana girls
Boo- he was the only one to hatch, and I forgot he was due, so he was a surprise 
And the list goes on... but I shant continue 

[Springlands]

Only one of ours has a name, Miss Marple, because she is so nosy.

We can't tell the difference between our LM Sablepoot hens so they're all called Jojo, short for Josephine.  The Lavender chick cockerels OH has called Oliver and Ronny because they've got 'problems' (don't ask ) the females are still to be named and the Dutch Bantam boy is Fred, his sister is still to be named

We have a Fidget rabbit

[bantam novice]

Elanor, Bloomers (looks like she's wearing them), Bianca, Snowy, Jet, Black Beauty (senior hen).  These have recently been joined by Brummell (because he's a bit of a dandy) and Calli.  The last two are 12 weeks old and though we know Brummell is a cockerel we are still not sure about Calli.  S/he has a hens stance and hasn't started to crow so we are hoping s/he will be laying eggs!

[shetan]

only our boys have names....too many hens

speckled sussex - maharaja/uncle (to go with the speck suss aunties - miss salty (rip) and miss pepperpot).

jersey giant - king

brahma - brahma. why change a perfectly good name? which also means king.

cochin - raja/baby - again king

orpington - yuvraj - which as you might have guessed means king too!

as they are the kings of their own harems....

[Mulberry1990]

We picked a theme, then named them all according to the theme! So we have designer hens and quail =)

[Colernehens]

We have gone for colour, character and the plain odd (mostly chosen by my little girl) 

All Orps (so no breed related names), we have adults hens;

April,  May and June (all black and no way of knowing which is which, although OH knows)
Ginger, Henrietta and Glitter (a sliver lace named by my little girl).

Then Chicks we have;

Ebb and Flo (never apart)
Socks (has feathers on His/her legs)
Willow and Splash
Jumble (lots of colours not sure what colour his/her parents were)
Daffodil (Lemon Cuckoo) and Cinders (a scruffy black him or her)

[asd1]

Ours are called zinger, the Colonel , September, audrey, Goldie and spot. We did also had scruffy, ginge and purple ( rip fox attack ) our  names were picked at random
