Chicken Names

[unboundvoice.livejournal.com]

We got 8 baby chicks last month and I thought I'd share the names with you! There are 4 different breeds, so my kids decided to use the same first letter for the chicks of the same breed.

Chloe (picked by my 11 y/o)
Callie

Matilda
Mabel

Hazel
Henrietta

Layla (picked by my 4 y/o)
Lucy (would have named my 4 year old this if he had been a girl, so now it's a chicken name!)

And a pic!

I love the name Lucy! I'll probably never have a girl (or another kid for that matter!) so I decided it was ok to let it go to a pet. And since it's a chicken and not the family dog, I think I'd still be ok using it in the off chance we ever had a daughter.

Tilly is a cute nickname for Matilda! I'll have to keep that in mind. Right now we aren't really calling them by name a whole lot but I bet when they start getting into my garden I'll be wanting to yell at them by name haha.

The home was definitely a big project! Should have given a little more thought to the cost involved when I thought I'd save money raising my own eggs lol

I know someone who asked their in-laws permission to use their dogs name, Sophie.


It looks huge! I can imagine how much work it would have been. Hopefully they will gift you with lots of eggs, because they have such nice digs & nice names.
