Only one really has a name so far LOL... one is known as Ruby. My 5 year old decided on that because of the bunny cartoon Max & Ruby. He wanted to name one Max as well but I told him that’s not a “girl” name for a girl chicken.. Although Maxine wouldnt be bad LOL........

And one of the big robust girls is known as “ you big fat B!tch” because she’s not so nice compared to the others... just a nickname of course ! lol

I really am enjoying them. I have two favorites though. The two smaller girls who love to jump up on my lap to get petted.

Oh, I love Max for a name for a chicken. Could be short for Maxine. ?????

My little brother named all our chickens. There was Pete, Pete, Pete, Pete, Pete, and Pete.

I’m sorry, can’t remember if you said... are you getting eggs yet?

Our neighbors complained about our chickens (as we lived in the suburbs), until we shut them down completely by giving them all a dozen eggs every once in a while. There’s nothing like really fresh eggs. I remember being so incredibly surprised to find that the yolks of our fresh eggs were bright orange.

We fed our chickens all our kitchen scraps plus, of course, regular chicken feed. I believe it better to give them a wide variety of stuff where they can pick and choose.
