What should I name my chicken?Part one: picking the nameOne must take great care when naming a chicken. If you're feeling overwhelmed by the responsibility, we’re here to help. Sometimes a name will pop into your head the moment you lay eyes on your new feathered friend. Certain factors like their coloring, personality, or the shape of their comb can help guide you in the process. Other times, you might need inspiration to get you moving in the right direction. Option A: ClassicClassic vintage names are always fun to use when naming your flock. Who doesn't day dream about having a flock of hens straight out of The Music Man? "Cheep, cheep, cheep talk a lot pick a little more..." Option B: FlowersChickens love flowers. They love to eat them, take dust baths below them, hide their eggs in them, and goshdarnit if a chicken taking a nap in your calendula isn't the cutest thing. Naming chickens after flowers just makes sense! Option C: Fun to SayIf all else fails, pick a name that will be fun to call out and watch your chickens come a-runnin'. At Quel Ranch we've had many hens and delighted in naming every one of them. Right now we have 13 hens and we let our nieces each name one. They came up with Clawd and Skunkwagon. Clearly, they have advanced hen naming skills. Part Two: Adding Some Flair!When you're deciding on a name for your hens, you might need some flair to make the name really pop. Mrs. Buttercup is in a totally different league than just plain ol' Buttercup. Professor Maude is far more interesting than simply Maude. Here are some more ideas for you: Mash 'em all up and you get pure magic! (Also, extra points for puns and rhymes!)
