Oh dear, there are already so many comments! But I wanted to give your chickens some thought, and this is what I came up with. Name them after some of the memorable places from your narrowboat journey. I went back and reviewed things. It will be a nice connection to that special time. I'm including a few extra to choose from or for other critters. So here's what I got:
Peaky (Peak Forest)
Bingley (Five Rise)
Ribble (Link)
Bugsworth (Basin)
Marston (Doles)
Mersey (Canal)
Marple (Aqueduct)
Stanley (Ferry)
And for good measure:
Falkirk (Wheel), Albert (Dock), Lune (Aqueduct), Wigen (Locks), and Crick (Boat Show)
Oh Shaun you've become so animated! You are obviously in your happy place. Lovely!
Foxes afloat is such an operatic adventure that the hens deserve diva names. So, Aida, Mimi, Carmen, Tosca, Brunnhilde, Norma, Leonora, and of course Salome. They are all sopranos, so when they hit a high note they will lay a big beautiful egg. In addition to the many eggs, you can sell tickets to their performances. Their coop should be named Covent Garden. There you have it!
oh this entry is my favourite!
Mimi is my daughters nick name 😁👍
Ribble and Thames after you’re epic river crossings. Loved the guided tour around the chicken grounds. Shaun knows his stuff 😎 Em x.
Sean you are a natural t.v. presenter, you make things clear and explain everything so well.
Name suggestions, for Chickens…
Hen Solo, Jabba the Cluck, Obi-Hen Kenobi and Princess Layer.♥️
You should name the hen house, "Foxes Aflutter."
Love it!
While your content isn’t on the canal’s, it hasn’t changed its awesomeness 👏
You have to name one irony, you have the only henhouse I've heard of that welcomes Foxes inside it! ;)
Wonderful pun !!! Most excellent!
Suggestions…
Hen Solo, Jabba the Cluck, Obi-Hen Kenobi and Princess Layer x
My mother in law loved chickens and they helped her with her mental health issues. She got up religiously to look after them and give her purpose. Sadly we lost her two weeks ago after a long battle with cancer. We would appreciate if you would consider the name Christine for one of your chickens. Your UA-cam channels helps people understand mental health. Keep it up. Thanks Lee
Tahlullah, means laughter. which you guys have given us for many years.
I don't Have names buT I do know that when you fellows go in to collect eggs there will be foxes in the hen house! Very fun show.
Ok guys. Here is my request, all the way from Canada.
I grew up in Gawsworth, Cheshire (1950’s). My Mum raised chickens,to be able to sell the eggs, to supplement her very modest income. We had one chicken that thought she was a family member and felt quite at home coming into our house and eating out of our dog’s food bowls. Not sure why but my Mum decided to call her Gerty.
Would love to see one of your gals named ‘Gerty’!
In Sweden, everyone who has a garden can have six hens. If you want more, a permit is needed. If you want a rooster, all neighbors must give permission. And it is of course, and understandably, impossible to get. Good luck, and handle the chickens as much as you can now, you will get it back later.👍❤
That’s really useful to know! I’m currently trying to find a job in Sweden so I can emigrate here. On a 5 week visit to Västernorrland at present. LOVE it here. 😍✨
I think the problem is that roosters are just noisier than hens and tend to be early to riser in morning. I did a job years ago where I stayed in a bed and breakfast place that had hens and a rooster and personally thought it was a fantastic way to be woken in the morning.
You pair sound wonderfully stress free. It is a joy to watch your vblog. Happy for you.
It's wonderful to see Shaun so extra happy!!! Name suggestions......HENRIETTA, MAE WEST , BEULAH , BETTY . Maybe name two after your mums.
My wife and I usually watch your videos on our living room TV on Friday evening at around 6'ish MST. We are in Boise, Idaho. When we watched last evening and you suggested naming your chickens, my wife instantly started naming them, and here are some of the names we came up with. Brigette (Bardot), Raquel (Welch), Ursula (Andress), Claudia (Cardinale), Catherine (Deneuve), Tina (Louise), Ava (Gardner), Marilyn (Monroe), Rita (Hayworth), or any other of your favourites. :)
Hello fellow Boisean! Those 2 guys are quite entertaining, right?!
@@sandiekurczewski3182 I've been watching them since early 2020. Great entertainment!
@@KozlosLife Yep, sometime during that lockdown/pandemic time. Saved my sanity!
@@KozlosLife I had never heard of Narrow Boats before, so got quite an education on all the canals through England.Loved it!
Eggatha Christie. I love that you're starting a farm. :)
It's not the size that matters, it's the chicken's healthy lifestyle that makes their eggs flavorfull and omega rich! Loved Y'alls chicken garden and coop. What could be finer than a Scottish homestead! My name for one of the hen's is Harriet. Cheers,
Lovely to see the hens settling in nicely.They seem very friendly, maybe being so young so that's nice.Hope the names are sensible, honestly these days some of the kids names make you cringe.I offered a few in your last video, just thought of another if you get cockrel... Taggart, after that super t.v. series.Take care you two and keep the fun coming along.👍🐓🐔♥️👍🏴🏴
Thanks for a great update and you must realize that the girls have bonded with you so they're pecking at you to preen you and checking that you're healthy and bug free, particularly 'Henrietta' that had a go at Colin. Take care and all the best. Stevie
Chocolate bar names for your chickens maybe, Mars, Bounty, Snicker, Caramac, Twirl, Picnic. Lucky to have you guys to look after them. 🐤🐥🐔💖
Shaun. You are so in your right place w your animal family. Totally the right move for you. I am so happy to see you so happy 😀😄🤗names. Every chicken family needs a Martha, a Minnie,and an Ena.
Meant to be Ena as in Coro ladies.
Names of Flowers - Myrtle, Daisy, Marigold, zinnia, Rose, Petunia, Magnolia, Lily, or anything else
Name your chickens for Scottish Queens and consorts! There's a long list online. Some really cool names. Like Etheledra, Annabella, Sybilla, Euphemia, Ermengarde, Maude, and Yolanda. Lots more!
I think you should name them after great places you've visited while living on Silver Fox!! Trent, Mersey, Crick, Nessie, Thames, Marple, Bingley, Wigan.
Yay! Great to meet the girls. You've made a lovely home for them. Here are some family names Daisy, Mona, Florence, Edie, Jennie, Sandy, Doris, Sheila. That's a great nan, two nans, two great aunts, a mum, and two aunties. Daisy moved to Canada from Scotland. So glad you're sharing your lives with us. Thanks!
Just a piece of advice from an old chicken keeper to you newbies, don't go in with your toes exposed, chickens love naked toes and it hurts alot. Enjoy
Harold the Hen. Was my grandfather’s favourite pet in 1980s. Much love from Australia 🇦🇺🙏🇦🇺
Last of the summer wine ladies, Nora, Ivy, Pearl, Marina, aunty wainwright, Edie, Glenda and Nellie🤷♀️
my god what a pair of lovable characters.you get worse,but keep it up makes the week better
Princess Leia(Layer) 🥰🐔
Me again ... " Blue Pearl", because its my boats name, and I named it that as a memory of my parents, their memorial stone is Blue Pearl Granite, which I have as my counter tops in my galley and bathroom. Lovely to see Shaun star of the show ... you gave a good talk while introducing your hens, let's see more of you.
You two are always entertaining, I would watch you on a boat, I would watch you with a goat. I would watch you with a hen, or in a Glen. You get the point!
Shaun, you do seem to be very much enjoying being a dinosaur herder. My experience with chickens, we had a small flock that we free-ranged on the veg. farm I worked at. Every time we moved the pen to a new patch they would go after all the frogs in the grass. That's when I realised they were still mini-dinosaurs. Frog fed chickens make delicious eggs!
“Keeping up Appearances” with a few added: Hyacinth, Violet, Rose, Daisy, Iris, Jasmine, Hazel, Lily
Thank you for your videos. It is nice to see you both so happy.
Chicken names - there’s a theme: 🐓 Tikka, Fajita, Supreme, Korma, Noodle, Nugget, Fricase & Satay.
It's so fun to hear Shaun talking more and explaining about his chickens. I think he really likes them. 😊
So need to be one called Fran and one called Ritch lol another nice vlog 👍
Living the dream! Large eggs from the supermarket are painful for the hen to lay. Letting them loose in your garden will trash it! They have a lovely run. I name Ruby after my friend who died aged 98
We have two hens at the moment ... Anne and Harriet.
However over the years we have had several hens and named them after Herbs...
Here are my suggestions.
Rosemary ( Rose or Mary)
Ginger ( as in Biscuits)
Fennel (Fenelope)
Marjoram (Marjory)
Anise (Anne)
Angelica (Angela)
Sage ( what Colin is)
Parsley ( as in saucy what Shaun is).
I like Anne, but maybe Annie for a hen, kinda oldish
There’s a point around the 7 minute mark of Shaun sitting with the chicken’s, that you may want to consider printing the shot for framing…a man with his chickens…😁
Maybe some traditional Scottish names, Fiona, Isla, Morag, Sorcha, Aria, Freya, Ailsa, Maisie to name a few but there are lots more. They are pretty chooks, what breed are they? I wish we could have some but daughter is afraid they’d be eaten and it would freak the kids out. We have a bear that wanders around out house after the garbage now. It’s just woke up yesterday, I know this because it knocked over the green bin in the night, time to lock it so it can’t get in. We have been asked to not feed the birds here because the the avian virus, we’ve lost a bunch of the birds who live in our trees😢. Hope your girls will be safe, being so far out in the countryside should help protect them.
Collin, I have ADHD and I guess I give off an unusual energy and some animals are nervous of that, horses never liked me, they would immediately knock me off their back. Maybe your energy is different and that’s why birds yell at you.🥰🙋🏼♀️
Some Hen's names for consideration :
1) Dusty
2) Scratchy
3) Pecky
4) Ol' Redeye
5) Shelly
6) Swinger
7) Foxy Lady
8) Ruffled
By the way, you can recycle your used egg-shells ground up into the hen's food, to let them make new shells !
Love this series !
Keep safe.
Stu xx
I ordered a chicken and an egg from Amazon; I'll let you know....
Chickens are special! Since they are red maybe call him be Ruby. Since Henrietta was a bit goofy. Lol yes m so glad you guys are letting us share your life. You both seem so much happier and relaxed ashore. Your chicken coop and yard are awesome! Well thought out and I’m glad you included the swing. It’s a really nice set up for the girls. I hope they appreciate it and lay lots of eggs. I love the old shows Good Life and Grace and Favour where they learn to raise their own food. Happy life guys!
Chic1, Chic2, Chic3, Chic4, Chic5, Chic6, Chic7, Runt for the Chicken who laid the small egg. LOL
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Colin - you were in fine form today! Shaun - truly enjoyed your information about the hens and the coop. You've put a lot of thought into the "girls" new home, you've built them the queen of castles with their own play yard. Compliments to you both. I think you should use a Scottish name for at least one hen but since I don't live in Scotland, I don't know what would be a great name. Have fun choosing their names.
1,2,3,4,5,6,7and 8
Names for the chickens: Adeline, Felicity, Osithe, Alexina, Benonia, Laureen, Seraphine, Victoria. One hobby of mine is genealogy in Eastern Canada. I got these names from records more than 150 yrs old.. Have fun guys ! Country life is the best life.
What about “Maggie Hatcher” 🐓 🥚 🇬🇧
I can see the resemblance. Perfect for a grumpy, pecky hen.
Name one Baird... like your content... It's Moist, tasty and dele... cant spell it i've had a few.
By the way I am so excited by the content path. Your Detour has led to an unexpected adventure. I'm so excited to continue to see where you land next! Keep things up guys and be safe.
by the way Baird is my clan name that I've always "fan fiction" I'm the lost chief of lol...
Henrietta - Dixie chick - Yolko ono - Foxy chick 🐣🐥🐤🐔
HENsel & Gretel, Jimi HENdrix, HENley on Thames, Yolko Ono & John HENnon, Hen Solo, Chick Jagger, Atila the Hen, Cluck Norris, I’ll get my coat shall I?
Keep up the fantastic work guys 👍
Margo and Barbara from "The Good Life"😅
Beatrice, Babs, Betty, Barbara, Bella, Bernidette, Bianca and Birdie would be awesome names. We have used several of these throughout the years. Enjoy those awesome eggs.
Clugney and Laysey🐓🐓🤪
I had a pet chicken years ago and her name was Stubby Jane. People came from all over to see my sweet, loving girl! I'm sending in her name to you hoping she can still live on with your girls. I'm so thrilled with your new, exciting chapter in your lives! Sending you lots of love from Florida!
One hen called Nessie? All in hopes she will lay "monstrous" eggs! Plus remembrances of your journeys afloat!
Oh my goodness, they’re adorable. I find the noise of hens so calming.
Two suggestions! Alice Cooper and Mrs. Moneyhenny
I used to hypnotise chicken! I'd take them out of their shed, coax them as I stroked holding their feet together, lay them on the ground on the joint of the paving slabs, with the joint line extending well into the distance and their beaks pointing up the line
line and then gently moving away. The chicken would then stay until I came and picked them up. I was about ten years old then so rather a long time ago. Thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks so much. Lots of love to two very special guys!!! Terry xxx
Hi guys! 👋 I know I shouldn't of sounded off my names for the hens a couple wks ago, but I was so excited they were coming 😁 So here's my picks again, depending on how many hens you have lol...Henrietta McFluffin, Hillary Fluff, Thelma & Louise, Clara Cluck, (my new one) Margaret Hatcher 😂 , Clover and Clementine. Hope your all having a wonderful day, see you next time and take care to you all ❤️
Maggie Hatcher - (Thatcher)
HENrietta
CHICKadee (W.C. Fields)
Princess LAYER - Princess Leia from Star Wars
EGGladon - prehistoric hen?
Hope you like 'em
I suggest name a chicken Kiwi as a remembrance of NZ as we have ANZAC day tomorrow our memorial to soldiers who fought in two world wars and many other conflicts with Britain. The Kiwi fun fact is it has an enormous egg for the size of its body and is critically endangered!
You beat me to it! 🥰
I like Clementine for chickens. She was the friendly one at my childhood best friend's ranch. She would follow you round and then sit in your lap if you settled somewhere. She was a Rhode Island Red which are supposed to be cross and difficult, but she wasn't.
Princess Lay-a, Amelia Egghart, Nessie
Hen names: Daisy, Petunia, Rosie, Lilac, Lily, Tulip, Hyacinth and Poppy. My grandmother had a large chicken yard when I was a child. I have many great memories of gathering eggs and feeding the hens when I was a youth. Hope you have a great time keeping the girls happy.
Glad the hens arrived safe. They peck your laces because they think there worms. Definitely name them after old Coronation street strong women. Ena after Ena Sharpels Mini after Mini Caldwell. Betty cause of her hotpot. Elsie after Elsie Tanner Annie after Annie Walker. Hilda After Hilda Ogden. If you do pick one of my suggestion s I hope it's Hilda she was my favorite character. The scene when she finds out her husband Stan had died and she's sat alone with the Muriel behind her as she called it holding his famous broken glasses held together with a plaster is iconic and she deserved an Oscar for that scene alone.
Some name suggestions: culinary herbs.
Rosemary
Thyme
Basil
Marjoram
Parsley
Sage
Cilantro
Mint or Peppermint
Dinosaurs!
Trex (after Tyrannosaurus rex)
Vrap (after Velociraptor)
Patty (after Apatosaurus)
Steggie (after Stegosaurus)
Ankie (after Ankylosaurus)
Topsie (after Tricerotops)
Terrie (after Pterodactyl)
Archie (after Archaeopteryx)
Types of tea:
Darjeeling
Oolong
Green
Peppermint
Earl or Lady Grey
Assam
Chamomile
PG Tips
Masala Chai
Twinings
Tetley
Matcha
Ceylon
We love your channel and your adventures! Enjoy the hens!
One needs to be Fran and one Debbie.
Lol...I had that thought also. I wonder what Fran and Deborah would think of that.
Sean's face when he showed us your first egg! Pure joy and achievement, priceless. ❤️
Fry, Boil, Scotch, Florentine, Omelette, Poach, Scramble, Dippy
Watched latest "Chickensareus". Great. Name search ideas, saw on egg carton:
Perch, Dust Bathe, Scratch, Socialize. Also Rock (dumb as). Also, Shaun's
sweet sensitivity showed with hens, He's one of my heroes. Ted
Lay-D Gaga!
The small egg layer...Cadbury 😂(no, not really) Shaun, you look like you're eggstatic to have chickens. I couldn't help but smile while you were sharing everything, thanks for that.
Collin, my girlfriend has a Quaker Parrot. The bird screams her head off when she can't see her too. Sometimes I can pick the bird up and pet her. Mostly I'm a bird taxi and food dispenser that gets paid with bites😂
Thanks for the homestead update. It's great seeing how people do up their patches of dirt.
We never got around to naming our girls; but they did develop their own personalities over time. Highly recommend meal worms (either live or freeze dried) as a treat for them; it’s like candy for chickens! And you’ll have to develop your own chicken stedi-cam for them 😎
Well, as David is out. Lol! How about naming them after the seven dwarfs & the eighth one can be Snowy. All the best David. 🥰
Mavis, Betty, Phyllis, Doris, Hettie, Minnie, Mabel, Lottie, Rebee, Bessie, Nettie, old lady names make me laugh 😁
Me too, I suggested old names for the same reason they conjure up such characters. My Nan was Betty and my Mum Phyllis so I love those names
As always loved your vlog! Name one of the glorious chickens Poppy.
Hens should have old lady names such as Mavis, Gertrude, Ethel, Betty, Florence, Mabel. Xx
Old lady names are the best for hens.
Need to include Maud!
COllin +SHawn = COSH. I'm so pleased you are having such a good time on your new adventure. LMAO at 8:11 Shawns zipper is down hahahahah
mmp3pets How many played the vid back to check?! l did and it wasn't, as far as l could see - and l did look! :)
Attila the Hen
Love the hens and tour of hen coup...! Lucky ladies having such a lovely environment with every kid con🥰
Love that Shaun is doing more presenting, he is so entertaining and endearing ♥️
Oh No! We have Foxes in the hen house. Sorry lol.
Very good to hear Sean chat about the hens. Could tell he has a real interest in them 👍Sean/Shaun?
I think you should name them after Dinnerladies characters Bren, Dolly, Jean, Twinkle, Petula, Anita, Phillipa and if there's anymore left Babs from Urmston and if you have a Cockerell call him Tony or Stan 👍😂🤣 it would be amazing 😍
How about naming them after the canals/rivers/locks you went on with Silver Fox? Mersey, Ribble, Bingley, Miss Marple, Henley, Marlow, Braunston, Weaver 🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔🐔
Roast, Stew, Casserole, Schnitzel, Fried, Soup, Burger, Stir-Fry
I think they should be named after some of the great ladies of music. Whitney Houston, Madonna, Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, Dolly Parton, Diana Ross, Adele, and Olivia Newton-John. Maybe you have some different favorites but these are some of mine.
names = do re mi fa so la ti do
8 Hens
Do
Re
Mi
Fa
So
La
Ti
Do
Those names will help you carry a happy tune around them.
Watching your vlog last night I had to smile at the hens enjoying Shaun's presence (and arms) in their coop and think that one of the lovely hens should be called Pecky Sue!! ;)
What about... Hennifer Aniston, Eggatha Christie, Cluck Norris, or Amelia Egghart? 😁
Shaun’s delight about the hens is so cute!!!! 🐥🐣🐓
How gorgeous - their little warbles bring back fond memories of my dear old dad's chooks when we were kids 😍
Coop looks nice and secure. Hopefully you will be able to let them out to free range each day sometime in the future. Good to see your property developing, thank you for including us (viewers) in your new lifestyle. Cheers.
Some ideas for chicken names!
•Eggatha Christie
