If there’s a black chicken in your life you’re itching to find a name for, you’re in the right place!
While I’ll admit, I’ve never personally named a black chicken before, or any chicken for that matter, I do quite like the idea of having one to name. I’ve always liked the idea of having chickens, but where we are, there are so many street cats, I think I’d find it hard to keep them safe in my yard.

In the meantime, I can just go to a local park, where they have plenty of chickens in all colours for me to admire. I live in Portugal, and yes, this is weird, and yet somehow completely ordinary here! They even have chickens in odd places like hospital grounds, bonkers and yet so incredibly cool at the same time.
My favourite is this one particularly cool dude I’ve seen that we nicknamed “Chewbacca” because, well, it’s hard not to understand why when you see him, take a look –

Yeah definitely a Chewie.

What a stud.
All in all when it comes to pet names, I’ve had my fair share of naming cats – from those in my own household, to a number of my brothers’ cats, heck I’ve even named some of the cats that are regulars on our street and who frequent our back garden, just because!
One of the cats I’ve named is a black and white cat who I gave the name “Porthos” to – and I had the other three musketeers (Athos & Aramis) named as well to complete the set! I even had a “Dartanian” eyeballed out, but I changed his name last minute to “Bjorn” because Dartanian just didn’t suit him.
But enough about the cat names I’ve come up with – you’re here to look for a name for a black chicken in your life! Whether you’re looking for something cool, fun, pretty, or just downright funny, I’ve got you covered. And while I’m sure there’s plenty I don’t have on this list, I’m hoping it can at least spark some ideas that will help you uncover the perfect name for the black chicken in your life.
Let’s get into it!
