DP just dropped off 4 chickens this morning - they are sooooooooooo cute!!
One is named - Foofa. Punky loves Yo Gabba Gabba & Foofa was the first chicken to come & say hello to her. Foofa is white with black specks.
There is a copper coloured one, a black one & a kind of mottled tan & black one to go...
I was thinking maybe Miss Moneypenny for one...
Suggest away!!
Roast
Nandos.
That's my suggestions :)
My chooks always have had the old female names like "Harriet" and "Gretal" etc... but when the girls name them they have names like "Amy" or "Sally" :dunno:
I'm with Kazbah, you gotta call the black one charcoal :lol:
ETA: Hey Christy, my DD's got one of your chook's names :lol:
HAhaha I do like older names though.... like Mae and Matilda, and Greta for girls too though. I have a lot of respect for my chooks too, they are a huge help in keeping our house green.
I'm with Kazbah. Nugget.
Cacciatore. Coq a vin. Tikka. Teriyaki. Honey.
Of course, you probably don't want to name laying hens after chicken dishes... Maybe after egg dishes instead - omelette, custard, frittata...
OK, I'm going to go away now, and maybe I can think of something better when I'm not hungry :lol:
OMG you guys!!!
First of all, I am a vego so I REALLY don't like the idea of calling them food names...!!
Christy I like the old names idea... but what would go with Foofa?! ;)
I love the name of one of the chickens on Bananas... it's called Peck! :D
My gf kids called one of theirs - Funky Chicken- don't know why but that's what they called it!
My sis has chickens - their names are:
Feather
Fluffy
Duchess
Flair
Gretchen
:)
ETA: Gertrude & Harriet
Three chickens I have owned that had names are
"Polly" She was a black bantam & I would call her "Polly Polly chook"
There was Henny Penny. She was my first chicken, I loved her heaps. I had her & Quackers the Duck.
Then we also had "Githa". She was a brown bantam. DH named her after one of teh witches int he Terry Pratchet "DIsc World" Novels.
I first thought of my & my Dad's all time favourite cartoon character " Foghorn Leghorn " or the cute little chicken with the big glasses in the same cartoon called " Egghead Jnr " or Egghead Jnr's Mother " Miss Prissy " ;)
I was going to suggest Mable and Rosie... don't know if they go with Foofa.
What about Flox (Floxy) or Chauncey?
Oh I love your names so far (Foofa and Miss Moneypenny - classic), and really like the suggestion of 'Funky Chicken'!!:lol:
I named one of my original chickens Mrs Bocka, another Wing Wah (don't ask!)
At the moment I have 2 Rhode Island Reds, I asked a little 4 year old friend what he thought I should name one of them and he matter of factly replied "Peter" so Peter it is! When we got her friend recently, she was so cute and little next to the 'old bird' that I had to call her Poppet. Peter and Poppet are very cute together!
:redface: Sorry hon.:
First of all, I am a vego so I REALLY don't like the idea of calling them food names...!!
Along the 'Peck' line of thinking, what about Cluck or Scratch?
The Banana's in Pyjamas have Begly and Peck. I like Henny Penny, and lots of other nursery rhyme chook names.
:D My chooks are called Kentucky (just looks wrong!) and Nandos (the most beautiful bird around).
How about ... iggle?
i read a fantasy book where one of the main characters is a chicken (who's not really a chicken). Her name was Ethel. When i get my chickens, that's what i'm naming one of ours.
I always name my chooks after older women in my life who I have loved. i know it doesn't seem very respectful, but if they understood how much I love my chooks...!!
My chook's names:
Betty (maternal grandma)
Thelma (paternal grandma)
Molly (great aunt)
Beryl (kind neighbour when I was growing up)
Jeanie (lady I used to visit at our local nursing home)
I think chooks are a lot like old ladies! I watch them for a few days before I name them too, coz they've all got really diff personalities. Betty, for example, was quit aloof and liked to wander off by herself (independent like the grandma by the same name). Jeanie is a complete scatter-brain but is extremely sweet and loves company, much like the lady with Alzheimer's that I once visited.
GL with the naming process!
Thanks everyone for the suggestions!! Have had a talk with DP & we've come up with;
White chicken - Foofa
Black chicken - Cybil
Red chicken - Henny Penny (Really, what else could one call their first red hen?!)
and the last one....
....Mab! ;)
I love them already, clucking & scratching away... :D
Fabulous names QM! Well done and enjoy!
No Miss Moneypenny?
I hope you enjoy them - ther's something so relaxing about listening to the chooks of an afternoon :)
Toffee
Madam
Midnight
Snowflake
KFC (was black)
Blackie
Freckles
Caramel
We had two more white and another red.
All that I can remember of the 13 we had at one stage when I was younger.
What sort of chickens are they QM?? Ive been wanting to get some for a while but haven't looked into it properly yet. Might talk to DH about it again tonight.
My nieces have 2 chickens Terri and Perri (Teryaki and Perri Perri :rolleyes: gross, but pretty clever for a 10 and 5 year old!!)
cute names, I was thinking dixie LOL.
Willow - I don't know what they are!! DP 'wasn't listening...' when the lady told him... :rolleyes:
I like the older names too, doesn't matter if all the names match as it will help set them apart from one another!
