If you have chickens, you already know why so many owners choose names for roosters in their flock. Chickens quickly become like pets — following their owners around and getting excited when they see them. 

Most owners keep at least one rooster with their flock for protection and mating purposes. Roosters are very protective over their flock and will defend hens from nearly any animal. They’re also very loud! Roosters will make quite a bit of noise if a predator is coming near your flock. Here are 161 great names for roosters.
