As we get ready to add another dozen layer hens to the coop in Spring, it's time to think of more chicken names!
When naming their flock some prefer egg dish names such as omelet, frittata, souffle and such while others prefer knock-offs of celebrity names such as Audrey Hen-burn and Lindsay Lo-hen. I prefer old-fashioned names, for the most part, for our ladies although we've have also named them after friends and family members as a tribute too.
Here are some we've used or are considering:
- Trudy
- Mabel
- Charlotte
- Tilly
- Hennie
- Lucy
- Lillian
- Matilda
- Maude
- Betty
- Esther
- Beatrice
- Annabelle
- Clara

- Eleanor

- Adele
- Ruby

- Mary
