Help!

Yes, we are getting more chickens this spring! I'm getting more and more excited to meet the little fluff-balls. I can't say I'm excited to have to tend to them for the first few months of their lives, but once they're outside and independent, they are delightfully easy and amazingly productive.

All that to say, we are going to get four little chicks at the end of February. I'm going to get four different breeds just as I did last spring. We're down to two hens now - Delaney and Amelia. Unfortunately, Blanche died and "Bethula" turned out to be a rooster. Despite only having two laying hens right now, we have plenty of delicious eggs and are looking forward to more.

Now, the reason I'm telling you about the new brood isn't so you think we're crazy. (We're pretty sure you already think so.) What I really need are some name ideas! I'm looking for some creative, vintage names. Send them my way, please! Our new girls are depending on you!

A flashback to last year...
