I got Isabelle Leghorns, because my Granddaughter's name is Isabella. I also picked up a couple Moran pullts so they had something to cuddle when they visited.

Edited to add: I firmly believe it is the parents job to raise the kids and our job to spoil them rotten... and to occasionally point out to the parents that they did "that" too.
