Goneril and Regan, good for a pair of schemers

Viola

Goneril and Regan will be fence jumpers for sure.

Mrs BY Bob says Puck.

Mrs BY Bob needs to read Shad's comment. There will be no Pucks.

You're back...does this mean we will soon be treated with pictures?

I'm on a boat. Not home quite yet but @BY Bob has a lot to answer for. I have 8.

Yeah...blame it all on Bob... I can't wait to see what you have, especially the two extra's...it's like having Christmas early... Have a safe trip home!

I agree. Although you will note, I have no such scruples regarding turkey.

Actually yeah, my girls get turkey too...

Well, turkeys are a different species. It's no worse than us eating other mammals like cows or birds of prey eating other birds.

For some reason it still feels weird though.

Cool & overcast here this morning. We are on an 8:15 boat of the island & a couple of hours after that we should be in the country looking @ chickens. The weather is a relief. I hate lugging chooks about in the heat.

And in the middle of the night it occurred to me I need some names. I thought I might go Shakespearean so if you have a favourite Shakespearean lady list her here. I might decide one of the new girls looks like a good fit.

Viola from Twelfth Night. Rosalind (can be shortened to Rosa) from As You Like It. I rather like Regan from King Lear too though she wasn't particularly nice.

I found this list.

Happy naming Ribh!

Crikey.... Let me think... Titania is quite sassy. Puck of course, although not a lady in strict terms. Miranda lived on an island. Ophelia, although a sad ending, might not bode well. Portia.

Ok thats me run out of names. I didn't mention Juliet but it's a good name for a silly young chicken.

If you are going with The Tempest and names that are not necessarily female what about Ariel?

Ooooh - Shakespearean ladies - how about Ophelia, Cressida, Desdemona, Viola, Rosalind, Mistress Quickly, Portia, Olivia, Goneril, Lady Macbeth, Cordelia, Beatrice, Cleopatra, Lady Anne. I could add Juliet but I really cannot stand that play.

I love Mistress Quickly! Sounds perfect for the right type of hen!
