That pic of the brahmas wing is the wrong one, here is it correctly:

Hey guys! I thought up some names, and would LOVE your input! Opal, Magnolia (Maggie), Poppy, Iris, Chick-pea, Amy, Penny, Sweet-pea.. do any of those sound good?

Sweet! I have an Opal and a Gracie

OMG they are adorable!

My daughter has already named the first three chicks we're getting. Cera (pronounced like Sarah), Teri, and Steggie - short for Triceratops, Pterodactyl, and Stegosaurus. She's really amused by the descendants-of-dinosaurs thing. She's going to be raising baby dinosaurs!

Psst- tell your daughter that these aren't descendants of dinosaurs. They ARE dinosaurs. They're more closely related to a T-rex than a T-rex is to a stegosaur. The group with the theropods (raptors, tyrannosaurs, bird-shaped things, birds) split off from the group with all the non-theropods a long, long time ago, and all of the other group went extinct, but the theropods survived in bird form. The smallest known dinosaur is the hummingbird, which ounce for ounce consumes more fuel than a passenger jet, and your chickens are members of the most common species of dinosaur in the world.

(also, pterosaurs, although they were prehistoric reptiles, weren't technically dinosaurs. Nor were all the aquatic things, the plesiosaurs and the like. The name works, though!)

(I was a dinosaur kid. I never got to keep any, though!)

My hen just hatched out 10 beautiful Mixed breed chicks on Monday. Hoping for at least 5 girls. I have one with feathered legs and one with muffs. The rest are normal in chick terms atm.
