Fun Yet Unique Chicken Names for Your Farm

We have owned chickens on and off over the last 15 years. We ran into some problems with some fisher cats and foxes so we relocated to our brother in-laws and finally have them back on our farm after creating some predator tight mobile structures. We let our chickens out during the day in the yard and in at night. We name all our chickens or at least the ones that are unique.

Everyone wants to name their chickens. It’s an important decision because your chicken will be with you for a long time! Here are some of the most fun and unique names that we could think of.

Choosing a name can be tough, but we have tried to make it easier by putting a wide variety of names so you really only need to come up with the theme you want to follow and we can do the rest. You can go by color, male, female, or maybe famous names. All that and more below.
