Let Your Freak Flag Fly
I have 9 hens and a rooster. They all have names, ranging from fluff(named by niece) to Vickie. My rule of thumb is if I am going to personally butcher and consume an animal, I don't name it. Dispatching my furry and feathered friends is hard enough emotionally, so I skip names on food animals to make it easier on myself. For example, the meat birds I get this year will not be named. I will name my breeder rabbits, but not the offspring they produce for food.
