Your hens have names. Your coop probably doesn't — or it has one that only you use. A coop name is the last piece of a backyard flock that feels finished: it goes on the door, into the family group chat, and onto the egg cartons you hand the neighbors. Here are 75 coop names sorted by vibe, plus how to pick the one that sticks.
How to pick a coop name that sticks
- Say it out loud. If you wouldn't say "I'm heading out to ___" without laughing (or with the right kind of laughing), keep looking.
- Keep it short enough to read from the driveway. Two to four words works best on a sign. Our personalized coop sign fits up to 22 characters.
- Borrow from your flock. Name the coop after your first hen, your loudest hen, or the breed that started it all.
- Add an "est." year. It turns a joke into a tradition. Nobody argues with a coop that has a founding date.

Put it on the door
Once you've found the name, make it official. Our personalized coop sign puts your coop name, your "est." year and an illustration of your breed on an 18×12 in outdoor yard sign with a stake — Buff Orpington, Barred Rock, Rhode Island Red, Silkie, Easter Egger or Silver Laced Wyandotte. It's made to order and printed in the USA.
