When I talk about names and name ideas for chickens, it's amazing how many people ask me what a good name or the best name is.

Don’t worry if you’re finding it difficult. I’ve named loads of chickens, cats, dogs, and who knows how many other pets - something always clicks at some point.
Some Tips to Help You Name Your Chicks
Still stuck for names? Take a deep breath, make yourself a cuppa, and see if these tips help:
Personality? - What is your hen or rooster's personality like? Look for characteristics that are unique to them and see how they tie in with a name.
What sounds right? - Let’s be honest, there are only a few names that sound right. It’s easy to start scratching names off of a list to get it down to a short few names. Be ruthless at first, if a name doesn’t sound right, pass on it.
What are you into? - Most people end up picking a name that relates to something they have an interest in. Maybe it’s movies, music, a TV show, a hobby, draw inspiration from what you know best.
Ask a friend - If you’re really stuck or are an indecisive person and will never be able to settle on a name, let someone else do it for you!
