Come on! You know you want to play!
Let's play Name This Chicken!
Let's meet our little pullet!
Our little beauty is a cross between a Buff Silkie hen and a Red Frizzled Cochin Bantam rooster (how she got such dark feathers is beyond me...). She is five weeks old.
Unlike most of her young chicken friends, she's not from a hatchery! She was hatched out right here on the farm!
She enjoys high perches, june bug snacks, and scratching in the grass.
And, she doesn't really care for photo shoots...
So, let's hear what you've got! Name This Chicken!
PS: You never know... there might just be a prize awarded for the winning name!
PSS: A "pullet" is a young female chicken who is less than one year old.
Hahaha... I'd call her Socket.. looks like she pecked a wall outlet and got zapped! :)

She's adorable, but I think I detect a manic, world-dominatory gleam in those eyes - so how about 'Nancy Pelosi'...?
Posted by: Lara C | December 13, 2010 at 02:43 PM
my little girl just lost her beloved chicken, she was a very weak chick who never grew but lived for 11 months she was a cross and was tiny with a little tuft of random feathers , your chick is the nearest iv ever seen to her , and her name was Gizmo..

I just stumbled upon your blog, and showed my 8 year old son this pic and he said "look it's a pinecone" so, I am sure she's been named but pinecone would be great!
Posted by: Dawn | May 10, 2009 at 09:21 AM
She does look like a feather duster.
But also reminds me of a pinecone, call her Piney.

Hairyette is my name for this fashionable lady. I have NEVER seen so many unusual and different chickens, in my life. I can't wait to see what you will get next. Please consider writing a children's book and either draw or use your photos of the chickens to tell the story. These chickens have such fantastic personalities.

Your pictures are great. I so enjoy your farm stories.
How about Moe -as in Mohawk.
Posted by: Ginny H | May 01, 2009 at 06:26 PM
how about FEATHER DUSTER -- since she looks like the feather duster I used to faux paint my bathroom! she's a beauty -- thanks for sharing life on the farm!
Posted by: Sandy in Virginia | May 01, 2009 at 06:20 PM
my hubby who is a cop and has worked undercover in drug enforcement...said...you should call her..'crack head" haha
Posted by: Renee' | May 01, 2009 at 04:45 PM
You could call her Frizzle.
Posted by: Laurie in MN | May 01, 2009 at 04:25 PM
wow you have a lot to go through but one more we came up with..

How about 'Curlie Girlie'? That's what popped into my head right away. What a fun game and I just love your blog. Seeing what the 'creatures' are up to is a fav pastime of mine. Your photos are stunning!
Please keep blogging.

Ms. Frizzle (of the Magic School Bus fame)
I love looking at all your sweet critters. Truman is a doll!
Posted by: Laura L | May 01, 2009 at 03:07 PM
When I saw this cute chicken I thought of Olive Oil. The picture of her neck stretched out and that cute little group of feathers standing on end! Olive Oil!!!!
Posted by: Stacy Morgan | May 01, 2009 at 03:05 PM
ok, for some reason, and again I don't know why, yes she looks like a pinecone with legs, but then I thought, she reminds me of Aunty Entity, Tina Turners charactor on Mad Max.
Posted by: Cheryl | May 01, 2009 at 02:08 PM
Well how about "Tipsy Frizzywinkle". I say this because of the tips of her feathers being orange. BTW I have shown everyone the photos of Miss Daisy in the bluebonnets. Can I ship my black lab pup down for a portrait? Hee Hee!
Posted by: Mary Anne Kelemen | May 01, 2009 at 02:06 PM
The name Nellie popped into my head - don't know why . . .
Posted by: Darlene | May 01, 2009 at 01:47 PM
The first thing I thought was a pinecone with legs. Very funny, er uhm, I mean what a beauty. :-)
Posted by: Cheryl | May 01, 2009 at 01:38 PM
Pinecone what the first thing I thought of as well! Or maybe Woodstock because of the tuft at the top!
Posted by: Otter | May 01, 2009 at 01:31 PM
ha. . .as soon as i saw her, i thought of my cat, scruffy. she has the same colorings of my crazy cat! Yeah, so i'm definately going to go with "Scruffy!"
Posted by: Dawn Liedtka | May 01, 2009 at 12:16 PM
Dinner
Posted by: becky | May 01, 2009 at 12:11 PM
To me she looks just exactly like "Scruffy"
Posted by: Brenda | May 01, 2009 at 11:16 AM
Oh, Alfalfa for sure. Remember Alfalfa of the old series Our Gang (I think that's what they were called, Spanky and our Gang maybe) Alphie or Alph for short but that's the first thing I thought of when I saw the picture. Alfalfa with his lick of hair sticking straight up.
Posted by: Becki B (queenoe) | May 01, 2009 at 10:23 AM
Bitzie, Tillie, Miss Sizzle. Since she was born on the farm ~ Little Miss Lauhoff, Lilly Lauhoff, Liza Lauhoff. Good luck naming this little cutie!
Posted by: Dotty | May 01, 2009 at 09:58 AM
Before I saw that she was a girl, the feathers going everywhere reminded me of Albert Einstein & his crazy hair. Since she's a girl, you could go with Alberta. :)
Posted by: Jen | May 01, 2009 at 09:27 AM
Kind of a "crazy" looking bird! She's thinking something behind those eyes . . .How about Sybil :0)
Or in the last picture she looks like Mr.T so how about "Mrs. P" (pullet) a couple gold chains around heer neck and she'd be ready to RUMBLE! :0p
Posted by: Randee E | May 01, 2009 at 09:24 AM
Well, I think "Punk"would be cool, and probably "Punkie" since the baby is a little girl.......I mean look at the tiny mohawk on her head, too cute!
Posted by: Carla | May 01, 2009 at 09:11 AM
She is gorgeous! How about Xena, as in the warrior princess? I mean, just look at the stare...she looks like she can hold her own around the chicken yard if ya know what I mean. LOL!
Posted by: Danielle | May 01, 2009 at 09:08 AM
Wild Thing
Posted by: debra | May 01, 2009 at 08:31 AM
She looks like a pinecone with a head. Too funny!
Posted by: Novell | May 01, 2009 at 07:36 AM
OMG....I have never seen such an interesting looking chicken........she is so funny. She does resemble a pinecone but that is too easy.......LOL. She is shaped like a gourd as well.......if she were a he........could call him Gourdie........nah.
How about "Eepa" which means supernatural. She does look a bit supernatural.........LOL
Posted by: Krissty | May 01, 2009 at 07:02 AM
So cute!!! my first thought was Elvis so I am trying to think of feminine spins on Elvis' name... Elvisa?
Based on her looks, I think she looks like a feather duster, how about Heather's Feathers?
Posted by: Christy | May 01, 2009 at 06:33 AM
I like "Brizzle".... a cross between a Buff & a frizzle!!
Posted by: Cindy Cherry | May 01, 2009 at 05:24 AM
She looks like a pine cone to me too.... I think you should call her treena....get it 'tree'na lol
Shes adorable!!!
Posted by: crystal | May 01, 2009 at 04:47 AM
she looks like a Matilda to me.
Posted by: Joanne | May 01, 2009 at 03:17 AM
I don't have a name, but she is adorable! She looks like a pine cone!
Posted by: Viv (VivLyn) | May 01, 2009 at 01:33 AM
How about June Bug?
Posted by: Ruth Gore | April 30, 2009 at 10:04 PM
Curly Sue
Posted by: Emily | April 30, 2009 at 09:01 PM
How cute is she!? I think she looks like a Rosie. No reason, it's the name that popped into my head. Cute little girl!
Posted by: Jodi | April 30, 2009 at 08:57 PM
She looks a little punk rock to me and I thought I had a perfect name but she's a girl but I think I'll put it out there anyways: Sid for Sid Vicious.
My second choice is Dusty - for feather duster or is that a chicken naming faux pas?
Love the pictures!
Sonya
Posted by: Sonya | April 30, 2009 at 08:50 PM
I think she is adorable--and when I saw her
pinecone struck me--I think pinecone fits
her perfectly!!
Posted by: Sheila | April 30, 2009 at 08:20 PM
"Abby Pine" sounds cute for this adorable chicken...never had tried my hand at naming chickens, so I hoped it helped!
Posted by: barb schram | April 30, 2009 at 08:01 PM
LOL! I'm sorry but that's a face ONLY a mother could love!! I'd name her WILD BETTY!
Posted by: Linda C. | April 30, 2009 at 07:31 PM
Miss Frizz is what I would name her. I just love your beautiful close-ups! My daughter LOVES all your baby chick pics, too! Every time, "Awe."
Posted by: Jenn Brown | April 30, 2009 at 07:23 PM
how about 'chicken fricasse'...
although she does look like a pinecone
Posted by: Deane | April 30, 2009 at 07:18 PM
Spunky cafe !!! HAHAHA love the looks, like if she just had 3 shots of espresso!...GINA F
Posted by: gina florencia | April 30, 2009 at 06:54 PM
Oh I just {{{{{{{LUVAH}}}}}}}}}} her! Hmm, now for a name....
Ok, let's see:
Buffy the Bug Slayer
A Little Frizzy
Frazzle(d)
Frilly
She's adorable...best of luck in your name search!
Posted by: Paula C | April 30, 2009 at 06:38 PM
NELL CARTER! She looks like she should be sayin' "Whatchu lookin' at baby?" I love her!
Posted by: Tammy | April 30, 2009 at 06:37 PM
plain and simple..this is definietly a chicken that should be named SPIKE
Posted by: michelle | April 30, 2009 at 06:28 PM
Oh my goodness she is cute! Such a bit of attitude with that little tuft of hair and the frizzled feathers! I would name her Sophia, she reminds me of Sophia from the Golden Girls! She's going to be a beauty!
Posted by: Brandi | April 30, 2009 at 06:22 PM
Shirley
Posted by: Connie | April 30, 2009 at 06:21 PM
Since she likes june bugs, how about 'Junie B. Jones' after the children's books character? Or since her feathers are black, 'Betty Boop'?
Posted by: Shellie Daniel | April 30, 2009 at 06:13 PM
She looks like a featherduster - how about Duster? I didn't take the time to read all the other names.
Posted by: Cheryl R | April 30, 2009 at 05:54 PM
My boys think "Alfalfa"
Posted by: leslie | April 30, 2009 at 05:43 PM
I didn't read through all of the comments so I hope nobody suggested this: Geraldine Frizzle-Snitch.
Don't know why or where...just popped into my head
Posted by: Theresa Grdina | April 30, 2009 at 05:33 PM
I thought MILDRED right away. Totally looks like a Mildred... don't you think?
Posted by: denise young | April 30, 2009 at 05:32 PM
She is the cutest little Rockstar Chick!
How about Buffy S. Frizzle.
Posted by: Michelle | April 30, 2009 at 04:23 PM
HAD to clarify...I mean she doesn't LOOK like Heather, but she looks like she HAS Pinefeathers...and feather and Heather rhyme, heeee!
Posted by: Kelly Schirmer | April 30, 2009 at 03:26 PM
I don't know if you are "friends" with another stamping legend....Pine is Here...Heather Nichols...but I think this looks like Pinefeather Heather to me....no offense to the real one!!!
Posted by: Kelly Schirmer | April 30, 2009 at 03:25 PM
I see the color of a fox in her and she is strutting her stuff so I think her name should be Miss Foxxy!
Thanks for the fun game. Mary
Posted by: Mary Campbell | April 30, 2009 at 02:31 PM
I think this little frizzle should be named "Frazzled" because she looks like she is. She is too cute!
Posted by: Connie | April 30, 2009 at 02:21 PM
My first thought was "June Bug" from your description. But hte more I look at her, I think she's more of a "Priscilla". She has a 'prissy' look to her, a little arrogance. She's as cute as could be!!!
Posted by: Kathy B | April 30, 2009 at 02:16 PM
Don't know if someone beat me to it, but how about:
~*Buffy the June Bug Slayer*~
She is something worth looking at. Thanks for sharing!
Posted by: Lara's Laugh Lines | April 30, 2009 at 02:11 PM
Wazzie, Conita, Brownie (reminds me of a brownie sprite) - I'm not good with names. She's a beauty!
Posted by: Erika M | April 30, 2009 at 01:53 PM
I like the little feathers on top of her head - how about Spike? Or is that not feminine enough for this little lady? Your pictures are beautiful.
~Meredith
Posted by: Crafty Math Chick | April 30, 2009 at 01:38 PM
While I do agree that her feathers look a lot like a pine cone, I'm going to suggest Orange Marmalade.
Posted by: Kerry from PA | April 30, 2009 at 01:31 PM
OK so "pinecone" has been suggested. Rod Stewart was the next name (the hair, but it's a she, so, "Rad Pullet" ? OK, I have to stop now my mind is going into overload
Posted by: Leslie | April 30, 2009 at 01:31 PM
She made me smile looking at her spiky feathers. "Spikerella" seems fitting. She's beautiful.
Posted by: Maylee | April 30, 2009 at 01:13 PM
First thing I thought was that her body looks like a pinecone. I'm not sure if that's an appropriate name for a chicken, but I would go with "Pinecone". Awesome pictures!
Posted by: Kerry | April 30, 2009 at 01:10 PM
Madonna came to mind, but Mona Lisa could work for her everlasting beauty!
Posted by: Jill | April 30, 2009 at 12:57 PM
I think she looks like a pinecone as well, and my first instinct was "piney" and I seen someone else already said that. My suggestion would be "lil Lizzie"
Posted by: Tracy E | April 30, 2009 at 12:45 PM
I think she looks like a pine cone and is gnarly so I'd name her after the oldest tree Bristlecone.
Posted by: Tiya-B | April 30, 2009 at 12:43 PM
She is just so fun. How about June Bug since she likes to eat 'em? Thanks!
Posted by: Troy Louise | April 30, 2009 at 12:43 PM
How about Barb? I love the spiky look she has...lol
Melissa
Posted by: Melissa Edwards | April 30, 2009 at 12:31 PM
I think she looks like 'Myrtle' but that could just be me!
Manetta
Posted by: Manetta Deggelman | April 30, 2009 at 12:26 PM
She looks like a feather duster to me .. a cute one of course! So how about Dusty Rose ?
Posted by: peggy | April 30, 2009 at 12:19 PM
Minnie, as in Minnie Pearl!
Posted by: Chris Pierson | April 30, 2009 at 12:09 PM
Daisy - she reminds me of a flower.
Good Luck!
Sandra
Posted by: Sandra | April 30, 2009 at 12:04 PM
How DO you get such wonderful photos? I think she looks like a very young Phyllis Diller wannabe, so how about Phyllis Dillet?
Posted by: Michelle | April 30, 2009 at 11:49 AM
How do you get such wonderful portraits? To me she looks like a young Phyllis Diller, so my suggestion is Phyllis Dillet. :-)
Posted by: Michelle | April 30, 2009 at 11:48 AM
OMG then I read some of the comments. She really does look like a pinecone
Posted by: ~liz | April 30, 2009 at 11:39 AM
I meant that in a funny nice way. winkwink
Posted by: ~liz | April 30, 2009 at 11:37 AM
The first name that came to mind Freakshow. Sorry but that is what I thought.
Posted by: ~liz | April 30, 2009 at 11:36 AM
I can't quit thinking Esmerelda. She has a certain dignity that makes her beautiful. I think she could carry Esmerelda off, and not very many chicks could!
Posted by: Carla | April 30, 2009 at 11:32 AM
Ack! What a looker, LOL, she's so funny!
OK - I'll say Buffy! The name is from a show a L O N G time ago...there was a dad and his 2 kids, the little girls name was Buffy and there was a little boy, can't remember his name. They had a male housekeeper? Mr. French? The little girl had a doll named Mrs. Beasley, or was that another show? Am I showing my age?? LOL
I didn't read the other suggested names, so sorry if someone else has already mentioned it!
Posted by: pam hooten | April 30, 2009 at 11:32 AM
I need to post again that I love your farm blog. I have wallpapered my computer with so many of your animals. My husband asks "is this one from that farm in Texas?" It always is!! Thank you for sharing your great photos!
Posted by: mary salhanick | April 30, 2009 at 11:21 AM
Wow! I'm amazed how many people said her feathers look like a pinecone.... that's what I was thinking, too! She quite a mess, a cute mess! She looks like she's now quite sure what happened!
Posted by: mary salhanick | April 30, 2009 at 11:19 AM
WHat a cutie!! I have to say the second I opened this blog and saw her face I immediately thought "Mildred" so that is my guess! Thanks for all the animal photo's I love peeking in here!
Posted by: Tilda | April 30, 2009 at 11:13 AM
I'm thinkin Marilyn, cause shes gonna be a beauty when she grows up!!! Oh so cute!
Posted by: Michelle | April 30, 2009 at 11:07 AM
I think that Tizzy would be a good name for her. She looks like she's in a tizzy, all ruffled up.... ;o)
Posted by: Susan H | April 30, 2009 at 11:03 AM
Holly molly, everyone has come out of hiding to post names for your new chicki!
She certainly has a unique look about her ~ I guess you're fortunate to have gotten these great photos of her :)
My name suggestion --- PRICKLES --- :0)
Posted by: Robb_eeie | April 30, 2009 at 11:03 AM
Sassy...She looks like she is Very Sassy:)
Myself, I think she is so Adorable!
Posted by: Bertie L. Hilgert | April 30, 2009 at 11:02 AM
I'm in a really silly mood today. Her last picture (not liking the photo shoot)reminded me of a real diva, so I think she needs regal name. So...how about Paulina Pulletkova.
Posted by: Janet | April 30, 2009 at 10:41 AM
This is a chicken only a mother could love. She's all frizzled out. She definitely looks like a 'Jozie'. Love your chicken stories.
Posted by: MarilynY | April 30, 2009 at 10:37 AM
I think she looks like a feather boa that Liberace might have worn, so how about "Libby"?
Posted by: Marti | April 30, 2009 at 10:29 AM
Fluffers is cute... :)))))
Posted by: Peggie C. | April 30, 2009 at 10:21 AM
LOL! Love this chicken!! I too thought she looked exactly like a pinecone. But instead, I'm going with Dahlia as she also looks like one of those beautiful, fluffy-type dahlias... if a dahlia were brown!
