I need to think of names for my chickens. So far, I like Francine, Olivia and Hazel. I need three more. Mind you, there not even hee yet, but I plan early and am bored at the moment. Any ideas are welcome....

How about...
Bernice
Henrietta
Esther
Clarissa
Hedwig (famous name for Harry Potter's Owl)
Guinevere
Theodora
I think they all go along with your theme.
I love picking out names. I even have names chosen for my next two children who haven't been born (and probably won't ever be born since we're having such trouble).
Hope this helps,

I like those names Kim. They're old fashioned. How 'bout "Harriet", "Henrietta", "Mabel" (Mabel and Hazel-- LOL), "Penelope" etc... that's more than 3, but they fit your "Theme."
I go through the "Name game" every year when my lambs and kids are born. I have a list I keep in my record books of names I've picked over the years. Sometimes I don't even use any of the names on it! The lamb/kid usually kind of "Picks it's own" name based on it's personality. Although, I hate to admit it, I have one lamb that never got named this year! He's a little black wether and I just CAN'T, for the life of me, choose a name!!! Maybe I'll just call him Buddy..... Have fun choosing the names for your "girls!" ~~~ Tracy

Ohh - I wish I would have thought of Lucy and Ethel!!
I named my girls based on how they looked or their personality.
Yes, I spent a lot of time watching them when I first got them!!!
I have 2 that look like eagles so they are Martha (Washington) and May (just cuz every Martha needs a May..)
I have one with big red "hair" and named her Flo (Mel's Diner)
Bessie is a barred rock (black and white - like a cow)
Also have Sassy, Heidi, and Henretta. |

I have a Gracie and a Spunky. I really haven't named many of my hens, only the ones that stick out. Otherwise they look alike. I do name my roosters though. I have a Big Daddy, Penquin, Sir Lancelot, King Arthur, Samson, and Runt. Too many roosters, yes, but they are gentle and have such fun personalities.

We only named our rooster as we had so many hens it would have taken forever.

My roosters almost always have an R name. Richard is ours right now.
I have hens named Molly, Sassy, Penny, Dovey, Mabel, Jezebelle, Freckles and Canary. The kids named most of them. In the past my favorite little hen was named Suzy. I inherited hens with food names before...very undignified..they were changed.
I let the kids name the hens and usually the bunnies (our bunnies are Toby, Porter and Coconut right now) but I get to name the big animals unless I promise them the "honor". My little granddaughter Kayla,(who is 6) in CAlif gets to name Mona's calf this year. I am expecting a very Disney name.haha. I let my son, who was 9 at the time, name some buck kids (I knew they would be leaving before long) and he named them Thumbtack and Thor. yep.
