Selecting the perfect chicken name for the newest member of your homestead is a new and exciting process, but selecting the perfect name can be difficult. Themes can be an easy way to name a lot of chickens at once. We used this method when we got our first two batches of birds as well and it even helps to distinguish which batch you got them in.
We have put together a comprehensive and carefully curated list of our favorite themed chicken names to make this process a breeze.
For our top tips when naming chickens, or to learn more about how chickens can learn their names read our article.
