Do you name your birds

[LordEvan5]

I try not to name my birds. I mean their lives can end in so many ways and I mean they are food themselves. To me none of that means I cannot be friends with them or show them love.

 

[Aunt Angus]

I name mine. Mine are pets, and I do not eat them. To each their own.

 

[ILoveDaffy]

Absolutely. Always!

 

[KarynVA]

I name them at first, when they are new and interesting. But I don't use their names very often in day to day life, so then I forget their names.

 

[Canadian Wind]

Oh, I really like the colours on that third one! Looks like a hawk or an eagle!

Most of my flock has names. Especially the ducks. The chickens, minus a very few, belong to my daughter and grandson so they sometimes have names.

When herding the ducks into their coops at night, they get yelled at by their names, lol! If one is going to be destined for the freezer though, I try not to name them.

 

[Shabby Chic-Hens]

I always have to name my chickens. and I never use the same name twice. so I'm constantly trying to find new names. sometimes I have to resort to BYC to name them.

 

[pipdzipdnreadytogo]

Yup, all 73 of them. The only ones I don't name are the ones I know I won't be keeping for one reason or another, like extra cockerels from hatching.

Edited because math is hard​

 

[AnnPann]

Definitely name them. How else would I be able to tell stories about each of them to people who did not ask to be told stories about by chickens?

 

[Isadora]

For me, most of the time it's easier using a name instead of "that chicken, the Easter egger without a dumb head poof".
All of my birds have names as long as they can be told apart.

as long as they can be told apart.

That's where I am. If I can tell them apart, they get a name.
