[Melabella]

I'm jealous of Sumi's egg.....

[sumi]

I waited a month for it and it was cracked and covered in poop. But I still love it

 

[Melabella]

cracked and covered in poop....lol... and I was just going to make a sandwich....bleh.

 

[Melabella]

i got these 12 fake wooden eggs at a garage sale for 50 cents. I am getting ready to get them out to the nesting boxes to maybe give the girls some ideas. I know it's a bit early tho....

I visited Ireland a few times, even drove a car around the island once. Talk about an adventure! Lovely place, great people.

I think you could get your tongue around most of these. Many of these tell you how to pronounce them. I mean, what could be easier to pronounce than Aobh?

Amena
Celtic girls name which means honesty or utterly pure

Aobh
(eve) Gaelic girls name which means beauty or radiance

Beibhinn
(bay-veen) Celtic girls name which means fair (as in hair) woman

Boadicea
(bo-diss-ee-a) Celtic name which is believed to mean victory. Can sometimes be spelled (and pronounced) differently. Boudicca (boo-dicc-a)

Brenna
Celtic girls name which means beauty with hair as dark as a raven

Brisen
Celtic girls name which means queen

Cara
Celtic girls name which means beloved

Cora
Celtic girls name which means maiden

Dara
Celtic girls name which means oak grove

Gethan
(geth-an) Celtic girls name which means dark or swarthy

Hayley
Celtic girls name which means escape

Jocelyn
(jos-e-linn) Celtic girls name of uncertain origin or meaning but believed to be related to the German for "connected to the Goths"

Keelin
(key-lin) Celtic girls name which means slender, fair and pure

Kiera
(key-ra) Celtic girls name which means little dark one

O.K. wow, lovely names! Thank you so much!

I think Kiera is great for the Blue Bell, she's almost black and Cora or Cara for the Silver Leghorn, she looks like she needs a little love. We'll go through the others and choose names for the other 4 tomorrow.

I though they were real eggs LOL And a bargain too! My son got given a fake egg by the feedstore when we bought the coop. It looks real until you look at it properly. He kept leaving it on the couch at home and I'd walk in and ask who left an egg in the lounge

I wonder if my chickens will be as gullible?

 

[Melabella]

so does that mean Melabella is off the list? sad face.....

 

[sumi]

I'll keep it in mind for future reference. That's if you really want a chicken named after you? LOL

What about Saoirse? over here lots of people are called it , its irish for freedom , but a common name! and If you'd like to know abpout Scot's Dumpy's , messag eme ill explain lol , pine martins are awful horrible things , come across very cute , but they kill chickens for pure fun , they pull their heads off , leave the body's and the heads , dont even eat them , just kill them for fun! Ive lost so amny to them , its heartbreaking...but my dog's are luckily keeping them away now , Ireland is a fantastic country if i do ay so myself (lol) how are you finding it now Sumi?
