We started last year with six chicks, all named for Dr Who companions:RIR Amy, GSL Rose, Australorp Martha, SLWyandotte River, what turned out to not be a cuckoo Marans named Dona(small, cuckoo coloration, lays small white eggs), and what should have been a speckled Sussex but turned out to be another SLW who ended up with the unfortunate moniker of Megatron(blame my daughter). Dona and Megatron went off to live at the egg co-op when the coop got to crowded. Megatron promptly escaped and was eaten by an owl.
This year we have four little chickies in the brooder. We are only keeping two, the other two will once again go live on the co-op. Two EEs tentatively named Penny(from Dr Horrible's Sing Along Blog) and Kaylee(from Firefly), and two Wellsumers, named Zoe(also from Firefly) and Buffy(from, you guessed it, Buffy the Vampire Slayer). All Josh Whedon heroines.
