Pets have names - dinners don't 

[lightyears]

i dont think i could bring myself to turn them into dinner lol.

[pennsylvania planters]

Our girls are called,
Korma
Fajita
daisy
geordie bird
sue
and Kenny .

[Kate and her Ducks]

I've got a Daisy too and she has just laid her first egg so I am very proud of her!

[MaryLou]

I am waiting to let names emerge for mine this time.  My last ones were Dora, Matilda and Red Sonya. 

[AmandaH]

I agree with MaryLou - yes, I named them but I waited to see what their personalities would be before I named them, hence Queenie is the boss, Dolly is the dizzy one, Mavis is the nervous one and Elvis was, er, given a name by my husband  

We put legs rings on them to tell them apart as, being ex-batts, they all looked the same - sad, bedraggled and slightly bald.  Perking up nicely now though!

[too many girls]

we have
Elwood, Pauline, Mildred Peirce, Elvera, Joanna, Goldie, Winnie, Nellie Oleson, Shannon, Delores, Alison, Penny, Sid, Lois, Precious, Edwina, Bab's, Nancy, Patches, Tiptum,

Pets have names - dinners don't 

How funny lol

Mine are:
Doris, Bridgette, Hilda, Mavis and Beryl

[nzdunn]

arh of course you have to name them, when you get them you will see how big their characters are, they are very deserving of a name, mine are called Winnie, shes the big maran, then i have cassie the blackrock and my little barnevelder is called Hazel.   Its funny how they sort of grow into their names aswell.   nickyx

[steaders]

Yes definitely name them, ours are Maud, (champion egg layer and boss), Margo (should be a dog cos she is barking mad, and Tilly (short for matilda) we also had Gladys be she sadly died on Wednesday, and is sadly missed. 

[beulah59]

We're picking up 4 ex-batts on Monday and somewhat foolishly I said each family member could name one. My younger daughter is planning to call hers 'Monopoly' 

The rest of us haven't really decided yet ...

[too many girls]

when she passes go will she pick up £200?

[Spacey]

We'd thought of names long before we got our 4 girls. Princess Layer, Jabba the chuck, Hen solo, Obi-hen-kenobi! But when we collected them and got them home they became Chooky, Margot, Nancy and Eggy Pecky (named by our 7 years old, not because shes a pecker)

[kitkat]

Here we go;
 Boys,; Kaiser, Kevin and Little Danny plus 1 not yet named

  Girls; Posh, Clarissa[nicknamed the Go-Lightlys], Jen, Bluebell, Lily, Olga, Bessie, Frizzy Bee, Glynn, Doris, Lola,Boots,Boo-Boo,Petal, plus 2 unnamed.

         6 called Steve though is a great idea, and much easier
