When my chicks were hatched my brother (called Dave) suggested I call one of the boys 'Dave' I told him I couldn't do that as I might have to eat him . None of the boys has been named for that reason.

We are totally un-original, we call all our ladies chicken! We have named the cockerel, he is kevin Having a four year old around after caruthers ( my little girls chick) died we decided it was best not to give them names.

i have Victor Valory and Vera, Curly Honey and Polly, Leo hermione and Frenchie, Lavender Leela and Laverne, Keloggs May June and Julie, Eric spot Boo and Millie, Bertie Naomi and Toffiffee, my breeding gang, and ......Freckles, Rhona,Chloe, Dippy, Snowbelle, Amber, Plum, Jewels, Norman, Roley, Sh.t face, Ron, ...to name but a few!!!!!

I am so glad I am not out in the mornings calling to "Sh.tface" to get out of the bushes and back in her pen! What on earth did she do to deserve that?

 :lol:Sht face is a big bossy silkie boy, with enormous fluffy 'plus fours'. He is now very gentle and likes a cuddle (if bribed with corn first), but when he was first rescued, he pecked at me and took a chunk out of my cheek. My immediate expletive became his name, though we call him allsorts, including fluffy breeches. We have 6 cockerels (nearly all old or misfits/rescues) living happily together with 20 assorted hens. Each cockerel seems to be in love with their own little harem.

i thought that untill i hatched (in the incy not personally) a silkie egg that turned out to be a silkie/rode island red cross Elwood's being playing away with Cassandra, Rodney would be furious if he knew

I don't hatch from my assorted free range flock,   most of them down there are too old to lay, they just living out their retirement years. My breeding trios/quads are all in enclosed pens.  I just meant that the cockerels dont squabble over the hottest chic!! they have their own favourites

I have a big mixed flock, it has 3 mature cockerels and some youngsters, the big cochin sticks with the cochin girls and barely casts a glance at the others, Priscilla (queen of the desert) has a motely crew of his favourites, mainly the older girls, and well the the big fav boy..anything that moves really!
