What's a great Valentine's day activity regardless of if you have a partner or not? Hatch chicks, of course! 🥰❤️

Not sure how appropriate it is to call this a "Valentine's day hatch-a-long" if they're only being set on Valentine's day, hence the "sort of" lol

Each year I have a naming theme for chicks and this year is no exception! I've made a list of names I personally really like, so feel free to pick names from there. In fact, I encourage you to. You can, of course, suggest your own names as long as they fit the theme! You can find the name list in a post below.

The theme for pen 1 (mixed breed eggs) is names starting on the letter B. Apart from that, the name can be anything 😊
The theme for pen 2 (Silkie eggs) is mythology. It's the same theme as last year, so I've listed some names that I haven't gotten to use yet.

What can we expect from the eggs?
The Silkie chicks could be black, blue, paint, cuckoo (male), blue cuckoo (male).
It depends on which hens were laying when I was collecting eggs.
The mixed breed pen is a bit more of a mystery, but they should be fun.
If you'd like to know anything more about the parents, just ask.

Here are the eggs

I know there are a lot of eggs, so choose two if you'd like.
 
Here's the list of names!
For pen 1 (mixed breeds):
Basil
Blossom
Blaze
Birdie
Breeze
Bee
Bramble

For pen 2 (Silkies):
Heracles
Perseus
Odysseus
Europa
Helen
Hydra
Sphinx
Harpy
Echo
Eris
Hecate
Nike
Asteria
Daphne
Hesperia
Melia
Halia
Iphis

I'm very open to different suggestions for pen 1 (B names). I couldn't find very many, so the list is a bit small.
Most names are gender neutral or female, because we're manifesting some hens here lol 😆 No, but actually, I'm way more likely to keep hens, so to avoid name changes most are female or neutral names. After all, I'd rather rename one rooster than 10 hens.
