I don’t think it’s any exaggeration to say that for most of us one of the most fun parts of getting any new animals, be it pet or livestock, is coming up with a name. This is something that the whole family can get in on and get passionate about! Certainly, chickens deserve good names too.

Food-Inspired Names

Some of my very favorite names for chickens generally are food-inspired. There’s just something about a food-based name that is clever, fun and memorable.

Also, not for nothing, it can be a bit of grim humor about the ultimate purpose of our chickens: for most of us, they provide food! Maybe that’s just in the form of eggs, but I know many of us slaughter our own birds to keep our families fed with the freshest and best chicken around.

The following food-based names are all chicken-themed themselves, or items that go great with a chicken dinner or use chicken as an ingredient. We’ve got to get past this fast because it’s making me hungry!

Believe it or not, chickens have played their own part throughout the long centuries of civilization, serving as critically important to producers of eggs, meat, feathers and manure, much the same as they do today.

I think it is only fitting to give them their do accolades with a name inspired by or lifted directly from famous historical figures taken from antiquity or the near past.

The following is a very short list to jump-start your creativity, but I urge you to think of good names based on your favorite pastimes and forms of entertainment.

Did you know the chickens have their own strict social structure in the flock? It’s true. Even though most keepers think only one dominant chicken, typically a rooster, rules over the run there is actually a system of subordinates that keep all the birds organized and generally harmonious.

It’s kind of fun to think of even a simple flock of chickens as being a kind of society.

For that reason, I think giving your girls occupational names, especially ones inspired by their behavior and personalities, just makes sense. This is another great opportunity for puns as you will see. I regret nothing!

Traditional/Classic Names

Sometimes it’s best to get back to basics, and you can’t argue against that when it comes to names. Instead of trying to out-clever yourself and everyone else that’s ever owned a flock of yardbirds, you might give your girls a basic, classic female name.

Any name can do, and can serve your chickens well. Just be sure that you don’t name the big, beastly tyrant after your significant other, mom, sister or best friend! That might entail some uncomfortable explanations!

You’ve got plenty to pick from in this section, but you can crack open a book of modern baby names or antiquated names for hundreds more.

• Mexican food: Taco, Burrito, Quesadilla
• fruit-inspired names: Kiwi, Banana, Cherry, etc.

Cute/Endearing Names

Last but not least, sometimes the sweetest and cutest birds in your flock deserve a name that is so sweet, so saccharine, that it will give you diabetes just by saying it. Me personally, I would advise against handing out these names to your entire flock, but if you’ve got a special bond with that one pampered bird, dust one of these off and let them wear it with pride.
