It is believed that hens and roosters are animals kept with other cattle in a barn for breeding. And few people know that a chicken can also be taken as a pet. In recent years, many cartoons about the life of chickens have appeared on the screens, and keeping exotic animals in the house has become fashionable. Therefore, many children ask their parents for permission to have such an unusual pet as a chicken. And when a young hen or cockerel appears in the house, the question arises of choosing a nickname.
Features of choice
The mistake of many owners is the choice of a name for a chicken by its appearance. Rather, the tactics are correct, however, at a young age, a chicken cub can have one color, and change dramatically with age. And then it will be strange to call a white cockerel Ginger.
Therefore, it is worth considering in advance what kind of pet will become when it grows up. To do this, it is important to study the features and appearance of a particular breed.
Differences can be in weight. For example, a large chicken may get the nickname Giant, but if it is a Hamburg cockerel, then such a βbulkyβ name is clearly not suitable for him. Rather, such a bird will be associated with the nicknames Kid, Masik, Trifle, Little. And, on the contrary, it is undignified for a large chicken to have the nickname Baby. The names Pyshka, Plyushka, Bun are more suitable for her. Due to the fact that among pedigree chickens it is always known what color and size they will reach with age, it is recommended to choose pedigreed animals for the home. The appearance of a mongrel bird will almost always be a mystery until it grows up.
If the owner has read the information about the features of a particular breed and knows what the pet will look like in the future, then you can choose a nickname based on the color. For a white bird, names are suitable:
- Bella;
- Snow White;
- Snowball;

When choosing a nickname, you can be guided by the name of the chicken breed. For example, Chinese names are suitable for a Chinese silk cockerel, you can even remember the names of famous actors, for example, Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan. For a girl of the same breed, the name China is suitable.
Try not to use complex serious names, keep it funny and fun nickname.
If the chicken is bought for a child, then let him choose the name for the new pet. And the child will like this activity, and parents can once again not rack their brains.
When choosing a nickname, do not forget to remember book characters and heroes. From a children’s fairy tale, the name Ryaba comes to mind, and from the cartoon, the desperate chicken Ginger. From the characters of the same cartoon, you can choose a name for a cockerel, for example, Rocky is a rooster that can fly. It is not necessary to associate names with birds, you can remember your favorite pop stars: Shakira, Zemfira, Lady Gaga, Nyusha, Dorn, Bilan, Choi, Freddie. Chickens quickly become attached to the owner and have a good memory, after a while the pet will begin to respond to its name.
