Expanding your flock is an exciting time! Whether you are new to raising chickens or if you have raised them for yours. You will quickly learn the new members of your flocks' unique personalities and traits.
To honor this and distinguish between them, we gave our bird names. This not only allowed us to tell them apart, but also enriched our experience with our flock by strengthening our connection.
While it is most common for homesteaders to raise hens as they provide eggs, it is not uncommon to have a rooster in your flock. We have put together a carefully curated list of our favorite old man themed chicken names.
