I brought my chicks home from work today!  Now they need some names... Here is what I have: 1 - Silver laced polish 2 - Americana 1 - Silver laced wyandotte 1 - Blue cochin And I have one more on order. All are pullets, which means they are all going to be hens. The polish is already named Hettie.  Any good ideas?

I think the Americana should be "Betsy" after Betsy Ross.
The Blue Cochin could be "Babe" after Paul Bunyan's Blue Ox. Or Linda 'coz Rondstat sang "Blue Bayou" so well.
Something with silver AND lace in its heritage could rightfully be called "Belle".
Don't know how GOOD any of my ideas are, but there you have 'em anyway!

Hazel is a good name for a chicken.
That was my pet chicken's name.
She got ran over by a gravel truck.

The blue cochin should be Crystal or Gayle as in "Don't it make my brown eyes blue" The Americana could be Mary or Martha (Mary Todd Lincoln or Martha Dandridge Washington) I also like Belle for the Silver laced Wyandotte Just a thought...keep in mind that I named my cat KC for Kitty Cat

Well, you may be asking the wrong family here. We have a white dog with a black rear end called BlackButt and a gray cat called Gray. No imagination around here.

Tina you are so funny. I too was trying to come up with famous chicken names in literature. Henny Penny, Chicken Little and the The Little Red Hen are pretty much all I can come up with. Authors don't have any imagination either. I used to have a Rhode Island Red rooster that we nameed (ta da) Red. Sorry, Sarah, I am lousy at naming pets.

Poor Henny Penny, but have you noticed that chickens are not the brightest birds sometimes?

My last hen was Henny Penny! So far only the blue has named herself...she seems like a Lucy to me. Traditionally hen names end in a "y" or "ie"...I think 'cause it makes them easier to call. I do like Hannah and Belle, though.... Thanks guys! Keep it up...

I did not know people names their hens. Very cool. Do they really come when you call them? You have loads of names right here at the Forum, you could name them after all of us Many of us end in IE or Y Merme, Cindy, Trissy, Lozie
