Do you name your chickens?

[QODTMWTD]

We didn't name any in the first group of 15. Just one (a sapphire splash with a dark grey head) got an unofficial, unimaginative name for her coloring and size (Big Blue). They're all banded so they go by "green leghorn" or "yellow rock," etc. The second group of 15, all Prairie Bluebells, have been getting names, mostly to do with their color (Crow, Heron, Nutmeg, Soot, Smoke, Ash, etc.). But I've decided that I'm going to name the rest with flower-themed names.

We have names for every chicken, but some go awhile before getting names! Sometimes you just have to wait for their personalities to show! We have over 50 chickens and I can name every one of them I can’t remember my child’s birthday sometimes but I know all my chicken’s names!

Started out with 13 chickens now due to predators down to 7 They always had names and any new one to come will get a name they’re pets to me who just happen to bless us with eggs everyday

I started with 6…Hank, Baby (or babes), Charcoal (Char Char), Ashes, Biscuit, and Gravy. Sadly we lost Gravy. I’ve got 8 more coming out of the brooder and want to name them but waiting til they get bigger to tell them apart. They are all barred rock

My daughter named the majority of ours.
Pablo, Ernando, Javier, Maria, Sophia, Jasmine, Peach, and Daisy. She has a thing for latin-ish names. I named 2, Bertha and Maybelline.

 

[RubelliteRose]

All of ours have names. We currently have Holly, Onix, River Song, Torchic, Pidgey, Hazel, Clover, Nutmeg, Cricket, Sage, Ivy, Pippin, Phantom, Blue, Ron, Wanda, Nova and Zuko.
Wanda and Nova are almost identical half sisters. I am the only one who can tell them apart, so they are usually both called WandaNova

We chose to leave the names as is for those "gender suprise" little gifts

Zuko is a pullet, but a patch of her down stuck to the egg when she hatched so she had to keep her name(adult feathers came in just fine)

Yes. My flock is small - so naming works. Some of them definitely know their names
