Chicken names!!!

[Allthefloofs]

I name mine by staring at them until a name comes to mind haha! I have;
Boops
Philip
Clyde
Bagel
Rock
And last but not least;
Acorn

I love "Boops" and "Bagel" And how did Rock get her name?

Hi there! We need some names for our new family members! What do you think? The top two are Isabella chickens, the middle are Delewares, and the bottom are Olvie Eggers.

Ours are: Buttercup, Penelope, Blacktail the Pirate, Red and the twins (we cannot tell them apart lol)

Rock is one of my roosters, he is grey with white specks, and he was standing next to a rock so he practically camouflaged so I just yelled "rock"

Doh! I typed Wyatt Chirp twice, it should have said Billy the Chick!

Gizmo! Don’t know why it just sprung to mind...

Ours were generally named by what they looked like as chicks (Yogi coz he looked like a mini bear).

Also love old lady names... we have a Vera and Norman.
How about Edna, Iris, Ethel, Nellie, Maud, Hazel, Edith, Doreen, Dorothy, Carol...?

The chick in the second picture looks like a wilfred or fredrick.
Dont worry about gender

Pff, me to, Poppy, Buttercup, Daisy, Poppy Jr, and Daisy Jr

unfortunately all of them have passed and I don’t plan on a Poppy Jr Jr

Haha! Great minds think alike!

I have a Poppy, too. And Aster, Bryony, Dandelion, Iris, Zinnia, Jessamine, Magnolia, and Violet. And a rooster named Picotee (he was supposed to be a girl).

I had an order of chicks, all of whom arrived deceased except for one I named Thistle. But she died within a few hours.

I'm planning on more chicks come spring for my ever-broody Silkies. I'm thinking Hyacinth, Sweet Pea, Clary, and Laurel.

Cacklehatchery has a chicken name generator, if you get stumped.
I don't name my chickens until they're old enough to look different from each other.

Me too! I name after my favorite book characters.

Me, too! And my birds are all named after flowers (cuz I'm lame that way) but this is fun!

I love the idea of a name theme among a clutch or that years birds. I knew a litter of kittens all named after constellations and a friend who fostered stray dogs and named all the ones she got each year according to a year theme. You say lame, but I appreciate uniformity hahaha.

I'm a big fan of pun names myself. We had HENrietta (turkey hen), SweetPEA (peahen)... I currently have Avary (off Avian) who is a rooster.

We also have Snowflake who is a white roo and Speckles who is a pied roo because we are very very creative. Oh yes, and Tim, after the wizard in Monty Python? IDK SO named him.

And then like 20+ nameless birds.
