In Australia, chickens are colloquially known as chooks!
Chook chook chook, here chookie chook

I'm eggs-only, Chris is open to the concept of some for meat though. His vegetarianism is based more on animal cruelty lines, so if he is confident that they had clean, healthy lives and humane butchering then he's happy to eat them (has been the occasional fish only so far). I still couldn't quite stomach it, but we'll see if I'm comfortable having chickens killed/eaten in my yard or not;)
Katherine:
I can't fathom eating something that I named, but if he can do it then more power to him. I would imagine it takes a strong person to be able to separate the backyard chicken from the chicken on the plate.
(For the record, I don't eat animals I haven't named either. I've been veg for almost 20 years)
Liz:
I grew up on a small dairy farm, all of the cows we milked got names that we used daily. When they got too old to produce good milk, and if we were running low on beef, well...
You get used to it. They taste the same. And that taste is delicious.
Ozymandias:
My wife grew up on a farm in Missouri. They were only allowed to name their animals after food.
