Finally! Your chicken lady dreams are coming true. You have picked out the perfect chicken coop (or maybe went the DIY route), researched all of the most popular chicken breeds, and maybe even picked up some chicken toys. Once you start building your flock of happy chickens, you're going to need some solid chicken names to give to your new gang.

What's the best name for a chicken? Well, really, anything goes. We love classic and even old-fashioned names for chickens, but there are lots of funny choices and chicken names from pop culture. Would we love a flock of chickens named after Yellowstone characters or the Golden Girls? Of course. Food chicken names aren't for everyone, but we put those on the list if they fit your sense of humor. Pick your favorites from our list below, and then pick a few extras (because, you know, chicken math!).
