It is extremely rewarding to name your chickens, transforming them from just egg-laying machines to house pets.

Despite the fact that there is no shortage of human names, you might want to give your chickens a more creative name. As with people, each chicken has their own unique personality. Chickens also have fine memories. Whenever you call out their names, they will come running, particularly if it is because food is in sight.

So we would like to find out: How do you name your pet chickens?

Place your vote above, and please elaborate in a reply below if you chose "Other". And feel free to share your chickens' names with us as well.

(J) Picking multiple options that fit our household. Reason being: no standard pattern but, several have been named for multiple reasons…

I have threatened to name the next chick that surprises us with very dark fluff & it’s getting something along the lines of this type of name:
Nutella
Mocha
Fudge
Choc-co-wit (emphasis on the wrong syllable)

You get the idea….
The last batch was a big surprise as the blackish/chocolate colored chicks developed in to a very shiny black with the amazing & striking hint/glaze of a metallic shiny Green. It’s visible ONLY in the right lighting… Butidigress
