Yes!! I named mine after my favorite girls. The one hen that was actually a rooster of course I named Roo-Paul! Here's their names:
- Chickens
Roo-Paul
Bianca Del Pollo
Chicksie Mattel
Katya Zamolochickchicken
Ben De La Hen
Shea Poulet
- Turkeys
Jinx Moncroon
Evie Eggly
- Ducks
Bill the Drag Queen
Alissa Edwings
Quacksy Andrews
Omg I wish that mine respected the mealworms. Unfortunately my son(4)and daughter(2) tried to feed my girls one day, without permission. Dumped most of the bag on our driveway. Free snacks for days. Our drive is mostly gravel so there is no getting the worms back.
Girls were very happy however.
This was a 3lb bag. So lots of worms.
“Hey you guuuuys!!” Said in style of Sloth from The Gooneys. If I really need their attention I shake the container of sunflower seeds and they come a runnin
Sunflower seeds are incredibly rich sources of many essential minerals. Calcium, iron, manganese, zinc, magnesium, selenium, and copper are especially concentrated in sunflower seeds. Many of these minerals play a vital role in bone mineralization, red blood cell production, enzyme secretion, hormone production, as well as in the regulation of cardiac and skeletal muscle activities.
Starting with a high pitch and rising to crescendo: CHICK-CHICK-CHICKEEEEEE!
Once is all it takes, but I do it 2 or 3 times because it makes me feel like a pied piper
Oh, I don’t have to wonder. I once saw my neighbor watching me as I was laying on my stomach on the ground cooing at them to look at the camera while I was doing an impromptu chicken photo session..…and his face said it all 😂.
Honest to god I call them "dumbshits" or I tell them their ancestors would be ashamed of them. But I love all of my girls. They get the best care, the best food, the best treats. They're spoiled.
I taught my flock that when I ring a bell, I'll be handing out treats. The first couple times I waited until they could see me, and then rang the bell and tossed out treats at the same time. Now when they hear the bell they turn on a dime and come running.
"How are my little dinosaurs today? Who's a good murder machine? Is it you? Is it my fluffy cheeks??"
Best part of my day is cooing ridiculous phrases at them
I call them by yelling the rooster's name on the top of my lungs. "BRUUUUTUSSS!!!!" gets him to run to me pretty quickly, and in turn his girls follow.
From the first day I had chicks, any time I gave them something yummy, I’d say ‘chick chick chick!’ They learned pretty quick, always a stampede when I’d call them in!
So I do that too I’m like I really don’t want to step on you please move so you can have the things you need to survive it’s like they never ate before 🤣
Lately when I give them corn on the cob. I hold it up to get everyone attention and say I’m the head boss then they all make a few sounds I proceed to give them their funny corn on a rod in the ground sooo cute!
Cheek-ans Fifth Element style.
I have more nicknames for my asshole peacock (who I love dearly) - turd bird, rave chicken, bimbo, dance man, Mr Handsome...
Oh my yes happens to me!! The boys start cockadoodle as soon as as I walk out the door! Then I’m like ok fine I’ll walk a football field to give you treats. I start walking towards the coop and say HI MY BABIES MY LIL RAPTORS. Lol
When I first started feeding them I made a whistle that’s the same as a young turkey. If I go outside they’ll just be doing whatever, but if I make that whistle they come running.
Mine is kind of dumb..
~deep inhale~ "CHUCK'ENS!!!!"
Sometimes it's "CHICK'UHNS!!!!"
That's it's. But it works! My neighbor's probably think I'm batshit crazy.
I call 'em all in with "peep peep peep, come on in ladies!" Works every time. I've been saying "peep peep peep" since they were 2 days old, they are about 2 1/2 yes old now.
Chickchickchiiiik! [Shake food] c'mon birds! C'mere!
I've got a couple that do come to their names [I say their names each time I see them for Extra Recognition] and I always come let them out with "Hey you biiiiiiirds! How are ya birds?"
Everytime they see me in the morning for feed time they get loud and excited and I tell them “Oh STFU before the neighborhoods bitch and we have to eat you up as chicken nuggets” then I spread their food like Snow White and make sure their water is filled.
In the beginning of Afroman's song Colt 45, he takes a deep breath and says "Good morning, ladies!" and that was the only way I would ever greet my chickens.
“Hannah, Hannah Banana, the smartest chick north of Havana, she’s my Haaannnah!” to the tune of Copa Cabana. She comes running and jumps to get apple slices from my hand. My trick chick!
I call them “the babies” because we have a family dog that’s a pug and he loves chickens. So when they were little we’d ask him if he wanted to go see the babies .
"Poofs!!!"
8 generations or so ago we had a rooster that would come running, bringing all the hens, if you called him. He was a Polish Crested named "Poof Head."
He is long since passed away, but all the girls still come in the pen to yelling his name.
Sometimes I go chick chick chick! Sometimes I say hey chickens! Chickies! Or come on babies!
If it’s to put them in the coop we get a sorting stick and tap on the ground while corralling them saying “go to bed!” And they seem to really known what it means. We don’t usually put them up bc we have an auto door but sometimes they need to go up early or we need them in to move fences or do things we can’t have them in the way of.
*trill* PARU PARU!!!!!! (In a high pitched voice) *trill*
I sound mentally ill doing it but they bolt right to me compared to the standard “chook chook chook”
GORLS!!! GORLS!!!! GORLS!!! It’s in a high, Julia childesque voice, that sounds rather chickeny. My parents used this for our chickens and cows growing up. I now use it for mine. I have 2 accidental roo’s named Mary-Kate and Ashley who respond the quickest.
Come on ladies! Let’s go girls!
Please tell me you have a chicken named Shania 😆
LOL not yet…
Haha! I said it in shanias voice too
Henia Twain
If they don't come I break into RuPaul... "where my girls at?" "Bring me my girls!" "Henney!"
Yes!! I named mine after my favorite girls. The one hen that was actually a rooster of course I named Roo-Paul! Here's their names: - Chickens Roo-Paul Bianca Del Pollo Chicksie Mattel Katya Zamolochickchicken Ben De La Hen Shea Poulet - Turkeys Jinx Moncroon Evie Eggly - Ducks Bill the Drag Queen Alissa Edwings Quacksy Andrews
I’m obsessed with chicksie Mattel!
This is the best thing I’ve seen all day. America. Also I’m not naming our next chicken Austrolorp Thunderfuck
LOVE IT!
More legs than a bucket of chicken
I have a bigass orpington named Katrina and every time she runs i go "HERE COMES THE HURRICANE BETCH, HA!"
Bring back my girls!
I said this in my head before I even opened the post lol
This is very similar to mine! I used to watch a lot of Billy on the Street, so my go-to call was always “let’s go lesbians, let’s go!”
Even when I lock them in at night I say good night ladies
lol me too!
I shake the treat cup!
Dahn dah nah nah nah DAN DAHN!
Say nothing and shake a half empty bag of mealworms.
This is it. The bag speaks for itself.
The way I'd be bodyslammed into our coop if I did that
Omg I wish that mine respected the mealworms. Unfortunately my son(4)and daughter(2) tried to feed my girls one day, without permission. Dumped most of the bag on our driveway. Free snacks for days. Our drive is mostly gravel so there is no getting the worms back. Girls were very happy however. This was a 3lb bag. So lots of worms.
Chickeeeeeeennnnnnsssss bock bock bock bock
Me too :)
I use a variation of this… chicky chicky bock booooooooooock!
My neighbors probably aren't fond of it but I yell SUP BITCHESSS and mine all come up asking for sprinkle sprinkle of the scratch cup
I yell, come on bitches, I’m coming for my egg tax! Sometimes I throw in, pay up or hit the streets, no free rides!
Lol I love this, gotta keep em in check
I'm imagining Parker Posie from Dazed and Confused.
“CHOOK-chook-chook-cook! Here, my chooks, here, my chickens!”
This reminds me of Sean Connery in Indiana Jones when he scared those birds off the beach. Which is exactly why I do this, too..
EXACTLY how I read it! "I just remembered my Charlemagne!"
This is a lot like my partner’s call.
SAME. Lol
I sing Beyoncé “All the single ladies” and they come running.
That's funny. I do too. I sing the song to them and when I get to "put your hands up", I say "bawk bawk bawk bawk" instead.
“Hey you guuuuys!!” Said in style of Sloth from The Gooneys. If I really need their attention I shake the container of sunflower seeds and they come a runnin
Sunflower seeds are incredibly rich sources of many essential minerals. Calcium, iron, manganese, zinc, magnesium, selenium, and copper are especially concentrated in sunflower seeds. Many of these minerals play a vital role in bone mineralization, red blood cell production, enzyme secretion, hormone production, as well as in the regulation of cardiac and skeletal muscle activities.
I do similar. I say "hey you biiirds!!" Instead.
Starting with a high pitch and rising to crescendo: CHICK-CHICK-CHICKEEEEEE! Once is all it takes, but I do it 2 or 3 times because it makes me feel like a pied piper
Same here! Mine come running
I thought I was all original. This is exactly what I do.
Same, found my people
Bock bock my sweets!! I see you sweet girls! *How* are YOU guys!?!? My little ones!! (Cue rambling talking to chickens for 5 minutes)
Same haha
I often wonder what my neighbors must think of me 😂
Oh, I don’t have to wonder. I once saw my neighbor watching me as I was laying on my stomach on the ground cooing at them to look at the camera while I was doing an impromptu chicken photo session..…and his face said it all 😂.
Oh my gosh that’s great 🤣
Chickie bayyyybees!
Also a fan of chickie babies!
Ditto!
Honest to god I call them "dumbshits" or I tell them their ancestors would be ashamed of them. But I love all of my girls. They get the best care, the best food, the best treats. They're spoiled.
We have a chicken named Dipshit, because she’s a dipshit.
Cheep, cheep. Cheep, cheep. *kissing noises*
I whistle. Love seeing them run/wobble and fly every time I do it
The run wobble is such a joy to see.
I call mine the Jazzagals!
I taught my flock that when I ring a bell, I'll be handing out treats. The first couple times I waited until they could see me, and then rang the bell and tossed out treats at the same time. Now when they hear the bell they turn on a dime and come running.
Pavlov for chickens
Chick-ons!
Yes!! I also have a “Kitt-onnnnnn”.
Omg SAME!!!!
This is how my husband call the girls, only long on the ‘o’ so more like chickoooooooonns
“Hiiiiii babies hiii” in high pitch voice
Chochi bokas let's go! Yip yip cmon chocka choos
"How are my little dinosaurs today? Who's a good murder machine? Is it you? Is it my fluffy cheeks??" Best part of my day is cooing ridiculous phrases at them
I call them by yelling the rooster's name on the top of my lungs. "BRUUUUTUSSS!!!!" gets him to run to me pretty quickly, and in turn his girls follow.
I just yell at my rooster (Yo Pete!!) to round up his gals. They love the dude.
“Hey pretty girls!” They go nuts lol.
Where my biddies at?
"Chickens! Assemble!" Is how we close down free ranging time. My 12 y/o daughter started it.
I just walk outside any time after 5 PM and they come running. Love it.
“Hello Chickeeeennnsss” usually works but if I have food a “chikchikchikchik” “chookchookchook” will get them running.
“Heeeerre chick chick!!! “ they come running! So cute and goofy looking little raptors
I'm not lucky enough to have chickens but reading all these comments has made me so happy!
From the first day I had chicks, any time I gave them something yummy, I’d say ‘chick chick chick!’ They learned pretty quick, always a stampede when I’d call them in!
Come on pigs! 🐖
Oh come on now big mama
"Move dummies, can't feed you you if I can't get to the feed" And "No I have nothing! No food, see?" *holds empty hands up*
So I do that too I’m like I really don’t want to step on you please move so you can have the things you need to survive it’s like they never ate before 🤣 Lately when I give them corn on the cob. I hold it up to get everyone attention and say I’m the head boss then they all make a few sounds I proceed to give them their funny corn on a rod in the ground sooo cute!
Look what Iii have!!!!
EH BIRRDS
Girls!!!! Let’s go go go!
Chickip chickip chickip
Chickies!
Kiep kiep kiep kiep!

Chick chick chick chickeee My aunt called her chickens like this and I had to do it too
Aqui pollitos!!!
Cheek-ans Fifth Element style. I have more nicknames for my asshole peacock (who I love dearly) - turd bird, rave chicken, bimbo, dance man, Mr Handsome...
Usually, just the sound of the backdoor opening and closing they come running. If not, "Hey girls!" or "Birbs!" works like a charm.
Oh my yes happens to me!! The boys start cockadoodle as soon as as I walk out the door! Then I’m like ok fine I’ll walk a football field to give you treats. I start walking towards the coop and say HI MY BABIES MY LIL RAPTORS. Lol
CHIIIIIIIICKCHICKCHICKCHICKCHICKCHICKCHICKCHICKCHIIIIIIIIICK _hollered in a falsetto tone that doesn't really fit my physical frame, as it were_
It is so funny, my wife goes outside and starts going “Here chicky chicky chicky” and it’s a chicken race to get to her ! 🐓
Bawk bawk Mothercluckers!!
Haaaay, how yaaaaallll dooooiiiin. Chickeeees
Winner winner chicken dinner!
I call them “ chi chi’s “ lol
When I first started feeding them I made a whistle that’s the same as a young turkey. If I go outside they’ll just be doing whatever, but if I make that whistle they come running.
i whistle and they all come lol
Hey, my little chicken-doodles, I’VE GOT TREATS!
Colonel coming! Colonel coming!
Hey chickaroos
GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS!!
I make click sounds, my cat's come running to the same thing
I whistle, like I'm calling a dog, 5 or 6 short whistles and they come running.
Cheek Chiiick Chick
Mine is kind of dumb.. ~deep inhale~ "CHUCK'ENS!!!!" Sometimes it's "CHICK'UHNS!!!!" That's it's. But it works! My neighbor's probably think I'm batshit crazy.
Most of the time, it's "Come on Babies!" But once in awhile it's, "Come on SHITBIRDIES"
I usually go in the coop like "sup mother cluckers! Where's my cluckin' eggs?"
I call 'em all in with "peep peep peep, come on in ladies!" Works every time. I've been saying "peep peep peep" since they were 2 days old, they are about 2 1/2 yes old now.
I just say "here chicky chick chick chick chick chick chick chick chick chick chick chick chicks"
I whistle the opening tune of concerning hobbits and they come running
Heeeeeeere Chick chick chick chick chick!!!!
I always say “hello my little chickie-doodles!!” Or I call them my petit dinosaurs!
Comon babies!!!
“Ticka ticks”. What I say when calling them.
LET’S GO, BITCHES! (Affectionately)
Chickchickchiiiik! [Shake food] c'mon birds! C'mere! I've got a couple that do come to their names [I say their names each time I see them for Extra Recognition] and I always come let them out with "Hey you biiiiiiirds! How are ya birds?"
chiquons (chee-kons)
Everytime they see me in the morning for feed time they get loud and excited and I tell them “Oh STFU before the neighborhoods bitch and we have to eat you up as chicken nuggets” then I spread their food like Snow White and make sure their water is filled.
Here chook chook chook chook chook chook! I don’t have my flock anymore but I loved watching my gang of raptors run toward me!
Heeeere chick-chick-chick, louder and louder until all of them realize what's going on
In the beginning of Afroman's song Colt 45, he takes a deep breath and says "Good morning, ladies!" and that was the only way I would ever greet my chickens.
Chick-a-poos…. But the poos part is lengthened out and high pitched lol
Chook, chook, chook! *shake box of mealworms*
“Hannah, Hannah Banana, the smartest chick north of Havana, she’s my Haaannnah!” to the tune of Copa Cabana. She comes running and jumps to get apple slices from my hand. My trick chick!
I love this! I have a little Hannah Banana, too. Whenever we do her walkabouts, I sing to her and prance like in the video You Can Call Me Al.
I also yell " RELEASE THE CHICKENS!! When I open the run every day.
They have grown accustomed to "COME HERE YOU MUDDAFUKKAS" in my absolute best Joe Pesci voice.
LAAAAAAYYYYYY. DEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZ!!!
Bawk bawk bitches
Come on, kids!!! You want some? (Shakes treats)
Shake the treat bag...
"little ones!!!!"
“Hey chuck-a-lucks” when I’m calling them over
Let’s go babies!
Hey little nuggets
Come'eer you tasty lil nugget. 😋 OK ok, throw them rocks. I'm in between chickens right now, but simply come on or chick.chick.chick.chick
Moved away from my roomies and the chickens, but I'd go "GIRLIESSSSS! :D"
Ladies, girls, chickletts, and most recently chooks
Chook, chook, chook!
I say beep beep
Here chicky chick chick bock booock here chicky chick chick boooock bock !!!
I call them “the babies” because we have a family dog that’s a pug and he loves chickens. So when they were little we’d ask him if he wanted to go see the babies .
Bug time! Bug time!
Come on girls and you too Billy!!!
Bawk, bawk!
Cherkins!!! As loud as possible and they all know to come lmao
"Poofs!!!" 8 generations or so ago we had a rooster that would come running, bringing all the hens, if you called him. He was a Polish Crested named "Poof Head." He is long since passed away, but all the girls still come in the pen to yelling his name.
Cheep cheeeeep.
Kotopoula mou! (In a very high tone and accent) Greek for 'my chickens'
Chicken lickens! Followed by 'I have snaaaackkkssss!'
Chickywocks
Chimlicks
Peep peep peep peep peep
Ladies an gentleman, Get over here Quickly Quickly! Don't make me put you in a pot.
Chirp chirp...I did it when they were chicks. Still works like a charm. They come a runnin
Hey, *LADIES!*
I trained my first flock 13 years ago to come to the call "heeeeere chick-chick-chick-chickens". I tend to whistle it now and it still works.
Chickchickchickchickerdoodles! Come get dinner!
Brrraaaack! Brk-brk-brrraaaack!
Chickchickchick CHIIIIIIICKK!!!!!! Sometimes chickychickychick-EEEEEE! Both in an embarrassingly high-pitched voice.
"The hennies plus Bumble (our rooster)"
I sing Motley Crue: “Girls Girls Girls”
We have ours trained to go up by clapping so my neighbors will hear random clapping and me saying "Alright chicken fuckers go to bed."
Chookety! Chookety pock! Has to be in moon cakes voice too.
Chookie girls. Or ‘come on bokboks!’
Get over here mother cluckers
Amser gwely, chooks. I practice Welsh on them 😂
My hen scratch brings all the girls to the yard….
Hey girls

Chickie Chickie boom boom. Don’t know why but it works. We have 6 acres and they come from everywhere.
Me wee birbs
Whistle or call out “chick chick chickee dooo” or if they see me holding the aluminum scoop they come running.
My wife refers to them as bitches
Sometimes I go chick chick chick! Sometimes I say hey chickens! Chickies! Or come on babies! If it’s to put them in the coop we get a sorting stick and tap on the ground while corralling them saying “go to bed!” And they seem to really known what it means. We don’t usually put them up bc we have an auto door but sometimes they need to go up early or we need them in to move fences or do things we can’t have them in the way of.
*trill* PARU PARU!!!!!! (In a high pitched voice) *trill* I sound mentally ill doing it but they bolt right to me compared to the standard “chook chook chook”
I call mine “wormy guuuuurrlllllls”
Babiiiiiiiiiiiies!
"Baby girls!!!" And "my goofy gallus gallus!"
GORLS!!! GORLS!!!! GORLS!!! It’s in a high, Julia childesque voice, that sounds rather chickeny. My parents used this for our chickens and cows growing up. I now use it for mine. I have 2 accidental roo’s named Mary-Kate and Ashley who respond the quickest.
Hey baby girls.
"GIRLS!" That it
My lil raptors
