Haha! At some point, chickens were relegated to the world of farm commodities. Flocks of poultry were kept to provide meat and eggs and little else. Times have certainly changed. Today, chickens are an endearing\u2014often spoiled\u2014part of the homestead, and each has its own distinct personality. To us, nothing seems more obvious for chickens than distinct labels: names.<\/p>\n<p>The methods for picking chicken names for your egg-laying pets are countless. (If you need help, naming a bird, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hobbyfarms.com\/chickens-names-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here are our tips<\/a><\/strong>.) Some draw on the birds\u2019 physical features or idiosyncratic habits with names such as Mr. Feathers or Peepers, while others turn to pop-culture icons, such as the Kardashian sisters, for inspiration. Still, others opt for tongue-in-cheek descriptions of their chickens\u2019 future destinies: Lo Mein, Parmesan and Curry, to name a few. Then who can resist the pun-tastic names playing on words related to all things chicken: Cluck Norris, Sir Clucks-a-Lot, Princess Lay-a, Yolko Ono \u2026 the list of eye-rolling names continues to grow.<\/p>\n<p>Chicken names are novelties and can elicit a chuckle out of skeptics who scoff at the idea of making the flock part of the family. In the oh-so-practical world of farming, naming chickens gives farmers a chance to have a little fun.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re adding chicks to your flock and are starting to think about names, we\u2019d like to offer a little help. We asked our readers to share some of the funniest chicken names they\u2019ve come up with.
