Found out in about two weeks we will have new baby chicks at the feedstore!! Two more weeks!!! My husband still thinks I will not like having chickens... I get the old, they stink, they "potty" in their food and water, they peck each other and you. Etc, etc.. I plan to prove him wroing though...
I am currently working on trying to hatch some La Fleche for my husband. He has busied himself trying to find the perfect evil names for his devil chickies. He plans to have a roo named Hades and a hen named Erzsebeth (after Erzsebeth Bathony..if you don't know who she is you should google her). He is also working on more just in case we get several to hatch. LOL
Elizabeth Bathory, the Vampire Countess...
Then the roo should be Vlad Tepes, jes sayin...chkn...
RIR roo=The Big Flopper-(aka Floppy or Flop)
EE hen= Irish
mutt hen= Scooter
mutt hen= Janet Leigh (she screamed when we brought her home)
her sister hen= Vivian Leigh or Viv
mutt hen= Suzie (my daughter's hen)
mutt hen= Bit (she's small!)
Two silkie bantams known as The Ninja Sisters. They are very sweet, but they are also very sneaky, keep to themselves, and the rooster fears them.
Some names I am throwing around for my Ameraucana flock:
Alma, Veda, Frances, Olive, Matilda and I have not come up with a name for the rooster yet but all names are subject to change as they have not hatched yet!
I am letting the grandkids name the silkies. So far 3 of the 5 have been named:
Punky
zuchini
Puffy
The oldest grandson is thinking Mario for his but he is still deciding. The baby has no clue and his mom is thinking Charles.. She said it should have a people's name.
The RIR and BR are not named other than the roo who is "T". The hens all look alike to me.
