Chicken Names

Ok, I have 5 names so far, only 5 left so speak now or forever hold your peace. Lisa chose Thelma and Louise for a black and red hen. I named two cats that I got from Steve: Thelma and Louise and they turned out to be boys. At least I know the hens are girls. Lauren wants a red one named Breckenridge. Julian named a red one tooter. He thinks farts are funny. I'm pretty sure most 4 year olds think farts are funny. Nicholas likes Sugar for a black hen. He totally came up with that on his own. Brad unofficially likes Pox ( as in chicken pox), but he never picked a color. I will make an executive decision and pick a black hen for Pox, so actually that's 6 names. That leaves 2 red and 2 black that are yet to be named. I wonder if I will be able to tell them apart? Maybe I will crochet them ankle bracelets in different colors. Oh, don't think I won't do it.....just wait and see!

  2. Did you change the kittens names or keep them? I would love to see you get their ankle bracelets on!

  3. The names may have to shuffle around a bit. The mortality rate on young chicks is high. They are canabalistic. I don't mean to alarm anyone just pointing out a fact of chicken life. I raised phesants for a while and it was a chore to keep them alive long enough to release to the wild.

  4. Lisa we actually changed the cats names when we found out they were boys. I didn't want them to have an identity crisis.
