Tips for Choosing Pet Chicken Names 

When coming up with great names for pet chickens, you have a lot of options. To narrow things down, consider your chicken’s sex (hen or rooster), breed (some breeds have distinctive feathers, colors, or markings) and personality traits (for instance, is your chicken active and outgoing or quiet and reserved?).

Also think about how many chickens you have to name. It can be great fun coming up with rhyming names or themed names for two, three, four, or more chickens. 

If you have kids, why not let them name your chickens? Kids can come up with some pretty creative name (OK, some might be crazy, but just go with it!). Allowing your children to name their pets can help forge strong bonds and might even motivate your kids to help you care for the family flock.
