What's in a name?
By: Kathy Rayner Date: April 19, 2018, 6:58 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Tell us how/why you picked your chicken's names.
Most of our chickens have names that have something to do with
their breed... ie... Dottie the Wyandotte, Barnie the
Barnevelder, Barbie the Barred Rock, Della the Delaware...
But... then there is Spike - she is a Delaware that we put under
Dottie when she went broody. Spike was the feistiest little
chick. She was rebellious. She had a little evil look about
her. So, Travis named her after one of the Gremlins. She is
still a little feisty and now has about 1 inch spurs. She can
run a duck off in a heartbeat but she has not made it to the top
of the pecking order.

1. Mr. Brown- got him from a couple with last name Brown.
2. Mr Dottie- well I thought he was a she. So I named her/him
after a lady I worked for in college.

Pirates Of the Carribian.

I renamed her to be Elizabeth swan off of Pirates Of The
Carribian

Lol sure do. I think naming them is one of my favorite parts.
People ask, do you seriously have names for all your chickens?
Why Yes!

What a great idea for a topic Kathy!! Here are mine:
1. Raylan: Gold Laced Orp Rooster, named after the lead
character on the series Justified.
2. Elvis Wayne: Silver Laced Orp Rooster, Initially named after
Wayne Dyer (one of my favorite authors) but when he was very
young I noticed that his little body was always ridiculously hot
so I started singing to him, "Hunka hunka of burnin' love" and
the name Elvis Wayne was born. I think it makes him sound like
he his from Mississippi. :)
3. Ava: Gold Laced Orp hen, named after Ava on the series
Justified.
4. Winona: Gold Laced Orp hen, named after Winona on the series
Justified.
5. Mags: Blue Orp hen, named after Mags on the series Justified.
6. Snow Peanut: Splash Orp hen, she is named after my beloved
Peanut. Snow is so much like the original Peanut that I wanted
to honor her memory by working her name into Snow's name.
Because of her coloring we initially called her the "Abominable
Snow Peanut" and since have just shortened it to Snow.
7. Blue Belle: Blue Orp hen.....because she is blue. :)
8. Sylvia: Silver Laced Orp hen...because everyone with a SL Orp
or Wyandotte has to have a Sylvia.
9. Louise: Silver Laced Orp hen...named after another favorite
author, Louise Hay.
10. Dot Dot: Splash Mottled Orp hen, because she had a big ole
dot on the top of her head.
11. Daisy Doreen: Splash Mottled Orp hen, she reminds me so much
of my sweet girl Daisy who passed last year from Leukemia and
the Doreen is another author I like, Doreen Virtue.
Snow's six babies..... not sure yet. We have 2 black chicks, 1
Blue, and 3 SL

I guess I should check out "Justified" to see who these
characters are that deserve to be tagged to your beautiful
chickens!
