Zoey & Jasmine are both names of 2 of my horses & I have a barn cat named Apollo...so of course I like those names

We also have a Patches, Jasper, Dean, Cody, Jade, Khracker & a Nala
 
My friend's lil girl named most of their chickens; Ruffy, Scruffy, Tuffy, Muffy, Puffy, ect. Pretty funny! She even remebers which one is which!
 
don't make them too hard mama, we named all of ours, the only ones we remember is the roosters as there weren't many of them. They become hard to keep track of.
 
Ours are:
George
Sonny
Rose
Blanche
Sally
Thelma
Louise
Lucy
Ethel
Roxy
Giselle
Esther
Matilda
Buffy
Sue
Sam
Joon
Lacey
Blue Bell
 
I found it to be like kids, see what they look like and their personalities...enjoy, they are fun!
 
Initially your problem will be telling the birds apart. RIR's look alike! Most folks that name all of their birds have a few or are a variety of breeds that are easily identifiable.
I have 25 RIR's they are all named with colored cable ties; referred to as "blue right", "black & black left" etc. etc. This is very helpful!

Using this scheme you can label and correctly identify 32 birds. I am replacing the lime as it is hard to discern from yellow in low light of the evening. DO NOT USE RED! Seems to attract birds that like to peck at blood. Have only lost 2 ties and they were easy to ID and replace. Use big ties and give them room to grow. THis makes it simple to keep track of all your birds and you will find it essential to you record keeping, treatment, finding trouble makers and a host of things that come up. Good luck!
