Absolutely! They're pets though. As the number goes up, there have been times I've noticed when talking to them or about them, I will go through about 3 different names before I get the correct name, but that could be me getting older. Between ALL of our animals, that's over 50 names!

I have Bertha, my broody. And seven the cockerel.

I have four bar rocks, and four ‘supposed to be bar rocks’ that are 13 weeks. Not naming them unless they earn it.

Small herd of dexters has names too. Pet their heads every day. One of our favorite days is when the butcher comes for these guys.

Only certain ones here get names. Not necessarily because they're stayingnor going. If a name clicks, they get it. I have a Phoenix cockerel that is hopefully going to a new home and he discovered his name was Gilbert when I was warming him off after almost drowning

I really don’t know lol!!!

 

[EmtheFishLady]

I do not name them all. If they stand out in some way, I might. Otherwise, I identify them by band number or variety. Example: "Blue Silkie Drake" or "Silkie Hen with Red Band" Etc.
