New chickens

 Now that we have Fort Knoxs  ( our 6x 18 foot coop ) . I felt it was safe to get more chickens.  There is no way a stay dog can get these.  We bought 6 for now. Once we get the new coop we will be getting three more. I wanted to introduce you to my new girls
  The white bird id Kloe.
 This is Bella
 The one on the left is Witchypo. She got her name because when I picked her up ,she tried pecking me.   I may have to change her name . She has gotten a lot nicer. She is missing part of her top beck. It happen when she was a chick.
 .
  My friend Denice named this one. She calls her Henrieta.
 These two still need named. It,s very hard to tell them a part.
If any one has any advice on name please let me know. I am lost for ideas. We are working on  getting them use to us. So we can hold them without stressing them out. A few let me pet them.

  1. Although I don't have any hens yet I still have my names picked out. I'll share them with you in case you care to use any of them. Clara, Dora, Lily, Hyacinth, Briar. Aren't they pretty. I hope my husband builds a coop for me soon.

  3. I have a Henrietta too! My girls are named Immogene,Birdie White - she is white, Irene, Gladys,Perdita, Desdemona, Little Peep - she was hatched by the duck, and of course Henrietta. The ducks are Clara and Aunt Bea. In the other pen there is Chickendog - acts more like a dog than a chicken, OCD - Other Chicken dog, and the 2 ADD girls. The rooster is Mister. The other rooster, Doc had an onfortunate incident with my husband. I have 3 roosters right now that are unnamed, trying to see who will be the best rooster to keep. Hope these names give you an idea. Sometimes I go with a favorite TV show or book and use those names. I like using those old southern names for my girls and will probably stick with those for awhile.

  5. Your new girls are very pretty! :)
    Unfortunately, I'm no help with names. All my Buff Orpingtons are named "Chicken" because I can't tell them apart! LOL!!

    1. That's the problem I am having with the last two. It's really hard to tell them apart

  6. Your coop looks cozy for the ladies. We have a few reds that we have not named, since we can't tell them apart.
