When it comes to naming my new baby chickens, I wanted more than just a cute name. I also wanted one that matches their personality.
And with it being Black History Month, I couldn’t think of a better source of inspiration for naming baby chickens than giving each baby hen a name based on a famous black person whose traits match their unique vibes?

Naming One Of The Baby Chicks Rosa Pecks

She’s patient, empathetic, and always seems to have the best advice when others are in need. Just like Maya Angelou’s words resonated with so many, Maya Eggelou’s presence is comforting and powerful in its own quiet way.
