Naming chickens is serious business. You don't want to go naming someone who gives you food stuffs, something like "dumb bird", or "stumpy" or "dinner". Considering where the egg comes from, they are already doing way worse than spit in your food! Imagine the possibilities if they hated their names!
My gals are growing up to be gorgeous! They are by far the most handsome flock Ive had to date. The Dorkings in particular are real characters. Their leader,Silvie, was once a parrot in her past life. If there is an appealing perch, real or imagined, out there that might allow her a good view, she is on it. Yesterday while I poured water into their bowl, she flew to my shoulder...which was gratifying but also painful. I was wearing a tank top and her 5 toes with claws dug right in! I looked like I had been savaged by a feral cat!
The fanciest chickens , the salmon favorelles are also the most bitchy. Forever puffing up their chests and squawking over every perceived slight....... just like in every business/barn setting in America!
" hey! puta! jew esteped on my toe!"
"who you calling puta? gordita!"
"Before I call anyone gordita I would be lewking behind me at the wide ass jew got!"
tussle, sqwuack,squack,peck, flap, flap......waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
........sniffle, sniffle, grumble, grumble......
"hey!...... what jew lewking at?......."
You can almost hear the collective sigh from the others. So as it stands, we have: Silvie( the leader of the Dorkings) Sparta ( her right hand "ma'am") Geisha(the serene , white Aurucana) Eaglett(the hawk like Aurucana) and Little Blackcheeks ( the only native American Aurucana in the bunch) That leaves one Aurucana, two Dorkings and the Favorelle bunch to go. Ill keep you posted. After all, our egg integrity depends on it!
