You just name the darling hens who lay the eggs and hatch your new chicks and their rooster, but food animals probably not a good idea ;)

What I was growing up on the farm we named all the animals even the cows we plan on butchering ..When it was my turn I would usually pick something like T bone or Hamburgular

I absolutely love clicking POST in the middle of a thought... the chickens were the only animal we didn't name.. in hindsight it does seem strange that they would bee left out... I even had a goose named Wilbur... but not one chick ever got a name
