Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[RoyalChick]

Oh crap, I forgot that you had a Calypso. I can choose another name if you’d like.

No! Not at all. We have many overlapping names in our flocks.
Calypso would be very happy to have a little Calypso to mentor.

Thirsty Thursday: Corid water! Yum! Beverage station as seen from the coop pop door. Lots of steps visible from this direction because the slope is terraced.

Okay, poultry competition went well. There was me and one other person on our team, while every other team had four-eight people. We didn’t get last though. I was going to make an offer for one of the hens because I had 40 dollars, but when I finished my last “station,” everyone was already at the bus, so I wasn’t able to.

My polishes are coming next week!

Name ideas:
Athena ( Goddess of wisdom and war strategy. My personal favorite god/goddess ever.)
Circe (Goddess of sorcery)
Hera (Goddess of marriage, family, childbirth, and woman. She was married to Zeus.)
Aphrodite (Goddess of love)
Demeter (Goddess of the harvest.)
Calypso (Goddess of the sea.)
Nyx (Goddess of the night. Zeus feared her.)
Nemesis (Goddess of revenge. Nyx’s daughter.)

Yes, they are Greek goddesses. I’m obsessed with all of the Greek gods/goddesses. I bought a translated version of the Odyssey last week. It’s super hard to read

There’s actually a musical that someone is writing that’s based off of the Odyssey. It’s called EPIC: The Musical. It’s so good; it’s the reason that I am in love with all of the Greek stuff.

And if for some reason I don’t like one of those names anymore:
Hesita (I do love this name though!)
Dionysus (another one that I love.)
Artemis ( This would be my first option for a name, but my dog is named the Roman version of Artemis, which is Diana. That’s the only reason I’m reluctant to name a chook this.)
Alcyone
Ceto
Calliope
Alectrona (I feel like I should name one this in honor of @notabitail. It sounds like Electrona)

Ooh chicks and chick names- how fun!
Those Greek goddess names seem like they’ll match up well to a Lead Hen. You’ll have to figure out which Polish is boss
Are there any other names you could pull from the Odyssey for the more demure ones?

Lol I just looked up some name options- Charybdis would be wild

Alectrona is a nice name. I like it .
You could also name one Greek Yogurt.

Featherhead had a Beetov-hen. I named mine in honor of his noble hen.

The laugh is for the wind tossled feathers

They all look so happy running around pecking and digging

Wow you really have absolutely no snow! What’s the temps? I know out west here it’s brutally cold. Here It’s supposed to be close to 10C (50F) today and even warmer this weekend!

Did I mention the Golden Eagle on Wednesday when I was just getting home flying over my place? Now I am even more worried about aerial predators! I am sure one of them could easily take a chicken.
