Hello!
I got chickens today, but they aren't technically chickens they are chicks. I have 9 of them; I attached the picture. They were only like 2 dollars each, so my dad bought 9. The reason i want irish names is because we got them on St. Patricks day! haha, and DO NOT put names like KFC, or chicken. We are not going to eat them, they are just for eggs.
heres the picture:http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n99/0oXxEmilyxXo0/chickens.jpg
Any names?
And what else can you do with chicks? Can you train them to do things? Like jump through hoops? etc.

Hi there. There are many options and various sites. Pick the best 20 names that you and your friends and or family enjoy and put them on small pieces of paper and place them in a hat or jar. Have everyone pick one name until 9 are drawn. What are to become of the roosters? Have a great week and enjoy your chickens.
