Expanding your flock is an exciting time! If you have prior experience with chickens, then you already know they each have unique personalities and traits. To honor this and distinguish between them, we gave our chickens names.
Naming our chickens not only allowed us to tell them apart, but also enriched our experience with our flock by strengthening our connection.
Typically, people raise hens as they produce eggs in addition to a variety of other benefits. For your convenience we have put together a carefully curated list of our favorite old lady themed chicken names, some of which we have used ourselves.
