cutest chicken names!
I'm sure yours isn't the only coop full of Disney-inspired princess names. Cute! I didn't have to mine very deep in the family tree to come up with old names.

We have one Olive Egger named Pat because (s)he was in a mixed group of eggs and the only non-sex-link to hatch, so we had no idea what gender. Solo is so named because it was the only egg to hatch. Oops because what hatched out of the purebred BLRW wasn't...had feathered feet (turns out was...- Peep_Show
