First name chicken, last name …

I love the idea of having an entire flock where each of their names is “Chicken” but they each have different last names. Chicken Nugget, Chicken Soup, Chicken Noodle…you get the idea!

You could also just name them what I have listed as their last names here…Alfredo, Noodle, Nugget, etc. Then you can say things like “This is my chicken, Nugget!”

I hope you found some good chicken names to use for member of your backyard flock!
