the_yardening | A hen by any other name....

The pullets have been named.

There are three golden laced wyndottes, and three silver. In each of the color groupings there is one with barely any color, one with lots of color, and one mid grade.

For those who don't know, we are smart alecks when it comes to naming our hens. Our original flock is Giblet (the bantam), Spot (the barred--who is about to get eaten), Nugget, Second Chicken, and Top Chicken (the reds).

Now that they are out in the yard, we finally gave this year's crop names:

The goldens, from most to least color:
are Cleopatra, Crispy, and Silly Chicken

The silvers, from most to least color:
are Turkey, Gravy, and Tarfeather.

This is what happens when a four year old, a seven year old, and two smart aleck women name chickens.
