'Morning Pink! Oh my, she's lovely!! First name that came to mind for me was "Lily". Don't know why

You can now put her in Gnarles' backpack and send them both on to me!

Thanks! I love the name Lily but my dogs name is Lily, Lily of the Valley, I named her that since I live in an area called Rose Valley.

She is a pretty blue girl. How about Amphitrite (greek goddess of the sea/ married to Poseidon)? Alot of my blue marans and ameraucanas have greek or roman god names thanks to my son who is totally into that and named them all lol.

Except... one of our blue girls is named CoCo~lada because that is my favorite icee (the blue coconut/pina colada one) LOL! She is my favorite hen so she named after my favorite drink lol.

How about "Opal"??

 

[flgardengirl]

Opal is pretty too. Or how about Bling lol. She is sorta sterling colored... or Lucy as in 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds...'

Haha just thought of one Miss Bling Thing lol.

Another one of Bill's dtr's that I didn't get a photo of the other day. She is his darkest girl, she is my favorite of his girls and is the only one that got feathered shanks.

A close up of Chloe.

One of the splash gals from the project pen laying those wonderful eggs. OHHHHHHHH and I just noticed that both of these splash gals have blue legs. I guess I didn't pay close enough attention before I blurted out that I had only ever hatched one splash with blue legs. I need to be a little more observant.

Bill's splash dtr. The other splash responsible for those pretty eggs.

That's cool!
I love Norse mythology (I'm a blockhead (Norwegian) through and through) and my Welsummers are all named after Norse Gods.
