I let my son name our four hens. He chose three boys names and one girl. Connor, Dr Oliver, Ethan and Keira. All named after Power Rangers. ha! ( he's six )

Our newest were named by my kids: Katniss, Ginny, and Churchill.
I have a middle school son reading Hunger Games (Katniss), a younger son into Harry Potter (Ginny) and a teenage daugher obsessed with world history (Churchill)!

The last time I let the kids name our chickens, one ended up with the name "The Magic Chicken of Alexandria". We called her Magic.

PS Love those Power Ranger chickens!!

I like naming them with a theme in mind. We named ours after Dragon Age characters.

Barred Rock - Wynn
Easter Egger - Merrill
Australorp - Morrigan
Brahma - Andraste, bride of the maker!

I love themes too! All of our are named for herbs/spices. Basil, Sage, and Thyme. I also have two new girls that I haven't settled on names yet but I am thinking maybe Cloves and Saffron.
