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)
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!
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
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.
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’!
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!
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.👍🐓🐔♥️👍🏴🏴
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.
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.
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!
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!!!

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. :)
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.🥰🙋🏼♀️
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!
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
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
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…😁
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
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!
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).
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.
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 ❤️
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.
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
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!
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.
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!
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 👍
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.
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!
I suggested names on the chicken coup build video two weeks ago and I still find them brilliant. But with so many viewers and sooo many names to choose from, I just suggest only one. It's my grandma's name. She was a real mother hen in the family - in a good way! She had us all under her wings, was a wonderful person and lived to be 93. That was over 30 years ago. I never heard anyone else from her generation being called by her name here in Germany. (Might be different in Britain!) And I always loved her name: *Harriet* Oh, and I'm so eggscited to hear the final names!
💙💙💙 1. Lizzie, because of the Queens jubilee. 2. Lacy, because they seem to like shoelaces. 3. Lulu. Famous Scottish singer 4. Skye, after one of the Scottish islands 5. Foxy lady, play on your last name 6. Emily, 7. Charlotte, 8. Anne, from the Brontë sisters. That’s my little input my darlings give Otis a hug for me. 💙💙💙
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!
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.
Fern, Foxglove, Heather, Bramble, Rosie, Ripple, Daisy, and Miranda. You have eight very beautiful chickens Shaun and Collin, please choose pretty country names for them.😉👍🏻🌻
I am suggesting Anna after my late Mum she died last year aged 94. Or Margot or Barbara from The Good Life. So great to see Shaun so happy with his lady hens. Waiting for all his cookery videos. Be happy guys we love you both.
Your chicken coop and enclosure looks great and those beautiful hens seem to really enjoy it. Given that those are practically Scottish hens - at least given the place where they get to live - I thought some names paying tribute to the Scotland would be nice. - Bonnie - the Scottish word for beautiful or cheerful for obvious reasons. - Catriona/Caitriona - meaning "pure" It's the Gealic version of Catherine and a name I personally always liked. - Elspeth - means "pledged to God" It's the Scottish version of Elizabeth and was used by Sir Walter Scott for several of his characters. - Isla - meaning "island" It's also a reference to the Scottish island Islay where some really good whiskey is produced. - Mairi - Gaelic equivalent of Mary and therefore a nod to Mary, Queen of Scots - Nessa - as a reference to Loch Ness and its monster - Rowan/Roan - meaning "Rowan tree, little redhead", obviously for the colours of your hens - Skye - as a reference to the beautiful Isle of Skye Have fun choosing names.
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.
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.
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!! ;)
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.
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
Queenie! When we had hens, there was one that stood out from all the others as being the boss - Queenie instantly came to mind. They make great pets and so nice to have fresh, free-range eggs.
I suggest naming them, Do, Re, Mi, So, Fa, La, Ti and of course Julie Andrews (a la Peter Cook in Bedazzled). My wife and I thank you for helping us keep our sanity during the various lockdowns. Have Fun! Brett & Jan
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 😎
With your senses of humour, puns are just the thing! Mrs Featherstone, Eggberta or Eggatha, Bucky Bacaw, Sinnamon, Pecky Blinders, Dusty Rhodes, Ginger Hale, Hennsteeth.
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 😍
Despite the trauma and drama of a few weeks ago, it’s wonderful to see you so happy and settled again. The chickens really do look bootiful 🐥. I love Victorian names for hens like Florence, Harriet, Gertrude etc. They’re great for nicknames too Gertie, Hatty and Florrie? Anyway happy times. Enjoy! 🐥🐥🐥
My hens lived in Cluckingham Palace! Some of the girl's names: Rue McClanahen, Liza on Broadway (named after Liza Minelli because she'd wait until all of the other hens left the Palace grounds to free range, then she'd bolt across the lawn singing at the top of her lungs) and LuSqueal Ball (a screamer) You can tell I live across the pond with these American actress names. Oh, in winter where my farm was, it was brutally cold and bitter and snowy so I had an inside coop in the big barn they wintered over in, aptly named Cluckatraz (after our famous prison Alcatraz) because they could not escape. Have fun with names! Much love to you.
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)
You should name the hen house, "Foxes Aflutter."
Love it!
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 😁👍
Oh Shaun you've become so animated! You are obviously in your happy place. Lovely!
You have to name one irony, you have the only henhouse I've heard of that welcomes Foxes inside it! ;)
Wonderful pun !!! Most excellent!
While your content isn’t on the canal’s, it hasn’t changed its awesomeness 👏
Ribble and Thames after you’re epic river crossings. Loved the guided tour around the chicken grounds. Shaun knows his stuff 😎 Em x.
my god what a pair of lovable characters.you get worse,but keep it up makes the week better
Chicken names - there’s a theme: 🐓 Tikka, Fajita, Supreme, Korma, Noodle, Nugget, Fricase & Satay.

1) Dusty
2) Scratchy
3) Pecky
4) Ol' Redeye
5) Shelly
6) Swinger
7) Foxy Lady

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.

Henrietta - Dixie chick - Yolko ono - Foxy chick 🐣🐥🐤🐔

One hen called Nessie? All in hopes she will lay "monstrous" eggs! Plus remembrances of your journeys afloat!

“Keeping up Appearances” with a few added: Hyacinth, Violet, Rose, Daisy, Iris, Jasmine, Hazel, Lily
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!
Chocolate bar names for your chickens maybe, Mars, Bounty, Snicker, Caramac, Twirl, Picnic. Lucky to have you guys to look after them. 🐤🐥🐔💖
Oh my goodness, they’re adorable. I find the noise of hens so calming.
Two suggestions! Alice Cooper and Mrs. Moneyhenny
I suggested names on the chicken coup build video two weeks ago and I still find them brilliant.
But with so many viewers and sooo many names to choose from, I just suggest only one.
It's my grandma's name.
She was a real mother hen in the family - in a good way! She had us all under her wings, was a wonderful person and lived to be 93.
That was over 30 years ago.
I never heard anyone else from her generation being called by her name here in Germany. (Might be different in Britain!)
And I always loved her name: *Harriet*
Oh, and I'm so eggscited to hear the final names!
Clugney and Laysey🐓🐓🤪
💙💙💙 1. Lizzie, because of the Queens jubilee.
2. Lacy, because they seem to like shoelaces.
3. Lulu. Famous Scottish singer
4. Skye, after one of the Scottish islands
5. Foxy lady, play on your last name
6. Emily, 7. Charlotte, 8. Anne, from the Brontë sisters.
That’s my little input my darlings give Otis a hug for me. 💙💙💙
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!
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.
I ordered a chicken and an egg from Amazon; I'll let you know....
Fern, Foxglove, Heather, Bramble, Rosie, Ripple, Daisy, and Miranda. You have eight very beautiful chickens Shaun and Collin, please choose pretty country names for them.😉👍🏻🌻
Fry, Boil, Scotch, Florentine, Omelette, Poach, Scramble, Dippy
🤣😂. And the horse walks away from your funny jokes...
What about “Maggie Hatcher” 🐓 🥚 🇬🇧
I can see the resemblance. Perfect for a grumpy, pecky hen.
I am suggesting Anna after my late Mum she died last year aged 94. Or Margot or Barbara from The Good Life. So great to see Shaun so happy with his lady hens. Waiting for all his cookery videos. Be happy guys we love you both.
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!
Your chicken coop and enclosure looks great and those beautiful hens seem to really enjoy it.
Given that those are practically Scottish hens - at least given the place where they get to live - I thought some names paying tribute to the Scotland would be nice.
- Bonnie - the Scottish word for beautiful or cheerful for obvious reasons.
- Catriona/Caitriona - meaning "pure" It's the Gealic version of Catherine and a name I personally always liked.
- Elspeth - means "pledged to God" It's the Scottish version of Elizabeth and was used by Sir Walter Scott for several of his characters.
- Isla - meaning "island" It's also a reference to the Scottish island Islay where some really good whiskey is produced.
- Mairi - Gaelic equivalent of Mary and therefore a nod to Mary, Queen of Scots
- Nessa - as a reference to Loch Ness and its monster
- Rowan/Roan - meaning "Rowan tree, little redhead", obviously for the colours of your hens
- Skye - as a reference to the beautiful Isle of Skye
Have fun choosing names.
Oh No! We have Foxes in the hen house. Sorry lol.
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! :)
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.
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...
Lay-D Gaga!
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!! ;)
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.
Very good to hear Sean chat about the hens. Could tell he has a real interest in them 👍Sean/Shaun?
Roast, Stew, Casserole, Schnitzel, Fried, Soup, Burger, Stir-Fry
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
Attila the Hen
Queenie! When we had hens, there was one that stood out from all the others as being the boss - Queenie instantly came to mind. They make great pets and so nice to have fresh, free-range eggs.
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
I suggest naming them, Do, Re, Mi, So, Fa, La, Ti and of course Julie Andrews (a la Peter Cook in Bedazzled). My wife and I thank you for helping us keep our sanity during the various lockdowns. Have Fun! Brett & Jan
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 😎
With your senses of humour, puns are just the thing! Mrs Featherstone, Eggberta or Eggatha, Bucky Bacaw, Sinnamon, Pecky Blinders, Dusty Rhodes, Ginger Hale, Hennsteeth.
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 😍
Despite the trauma and drama of a few weeks ago, it’s wonderful to see you so happy and settled again. The chickens really do look bootiful 🐥. I love Victorian names for hens like Florence, Harriet, Gertrude etc. They’re great for nicknames too Gertie, Hatty and Florrie? Anyway happy times. Enjoy! 🐥🐥🐥
names = do re mi fa so la ti do
Thank you for your videos. It is nice to see you both so happy.
My hens lived in Cluckingham Palace! Some of the girl's names: Rue McClanahen, Liza on Broadway (named after Liza Minelli because she'd wait until all of the other hens left the Palace grounds to free range, then she'd bolt across the lawn singing at the top of her lungs) and LuSqueal Ball (a screamer) You can tell I live across the pond with these American actress names. Oh, in winter where my farm was, it was brutally cold and bitter and snowy so I had an inside coop in the big barn they wintered over in, aptly named Cluckatraz (after our famous prison Alcatraz) because they could not escape. Have fun with names! Much love to you.
Maggie Hatcher - (Thatcher)
HENrietta
CHICKadee (W.C. Fields)
Princess LAYER - Princess Leia from Star Wars
EGGladon - prehistoric hen?
Hope you like 'em
