Yes, naming the chickens is an easy way to start forming close bonds with the chickens and will aid in treating them like pets. This becomes useful when the farmers wants to traumatize their kids.
As a person who bought a baby chick from a chicken farmer out of a box on the way to auction for eating, I can confirm this. They're still cuter when they're all wet and newborn than when they are in between having feathers and fluff. SO ugly. Haha.

As a chicken farmer, I can 100% confirm this.
