40+ Cool Rooster Names For Your Small Farm

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.


For our top tips when naming chickens, or to learn more about how chickens can learn their names read our article.

When Your Purchase Pullets and Get A Rooster

It's not uncommon to find a rooster among a batch of pullets, as sometimes sellers mix up the genders. If you purchased all pullets but ended up with a rooster, you’re not alone—this happens more often than you might think. Roosters are usually identifiable by their distinct plumage and crowing, so while the surprise can be unexpected, many chicken keepers choose to keep the rooster. Roosters can offer protection to the flock and help with fertilization if you're planning to hatch eggs, making them a valuable addition despite the mix-up.


Of the 35+ pullets we have welcomed to our homestead, we have had two surprise roosters ourselves.
