Simple way to remember is to knit the names of each chicken on a little woolley hat, thus keeping them warm at the same time

Buy a different coloured chicken for each child and call the chicken the same name. That should help.

Bear in mind, it is harder to kill "Touloula Jane" than it is to do "That fat one over there"...

I was thinking more of tattooing (or branding) myself

Self abuse? I don't need to abuse myself when I've got a wife and three kids that can do it for me

Hmm, wouldn't that be a challenge though, you'd have to knit a different shaped hat for each chicken, as they've all got different shaped combs.

Much more sensible would be little visors - keeps the sun out of their eyes when looking for worms and grubs, and it looks the business for their late night poker games.

To stop confusion you could confine them to a small cage and then put a name tag on the cage

If I ever have a chicken, Darren, I'll name it after you. Not if it's a hen, though.
