I hatched my chickens from eggs, and gave each egg a letter, so we found names starting with the letter on their egg.
We had Aspen, Boo (hatched on Halloween), Chickpea, Dumpling, Eneggma (we thought she was a male sexlink, but she's a girl), Goblin (another Halloween baby), Hollendaise, Ivy, Jupiter, and Kaye from the first batch. Some are blue marans and some are sexlink-crosses.
Then we got some purebred Delawares and kept going in alphabetical order. So we had Lacy, Marble, Noodle, Omlett, Quill, Scratch, Teriyaki, and Yodel (an especially noisy chick). I wanted to name one Xeric because we live in the desert, but X didn't hatch.
Later a neighbor sold us his pullets, and I let my four year old name them. We ended up with a white leghorn named Fevy (short for white feathers, I think), and Rhode Island Reds named Ghost and Tigger.
