Arrgh. <br /><br />But when I think about chickens, my heart melts and I am floating on a love cloud, free from stress and in the moment. Keeping chickens is like reading an engrossing book or a bit like watching a fun soap opera. I have been appreciating Lauren's great illustrations, and I love your chicken stories!

They would start their life in our basement in the spring, when the weather warmed up they moved outdoors. By the time the middle to late summer arrived, they moved into our freezer! Now, if we had chickens, I would name one Georgia, another Queen Latifa, another Percy. We have kept bees also. Even extracted the honey. What a sweet mess.twehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13236435454281705175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-79970543307526482322013-03-26T18:06:31.537-04:002013-03-26T18:06:31.537-04:00Jolene, Mary Alice, Georgia Mae, Ginny Jo, Daisy B...Jolene, Mary Alice, Georgia Mae, Ginny Jo, Daisy Belle, Gracie Lou, Pearl Libka, Sister Brigid (patron saint of chickens), Gwyneth Poultry, Napoltreon Bonaparte and Raekwon (these last two are compliments of my college-aged boys who don't care that hens are girls and felt free to use creative "boy" names.).

If we got chickens I fear their names would be breakfast, brunch, lunch, supper, dinner & snacktime. Luckily I recently discovered a nearby neighbor who has an abundance of chickens & am looking forward to this new source of fresh eggs!

Maybe this book would help make the decision easier (and help convince my hubby). :-) I haven't thought about what I would name them, but I'd probably do some kind of theme.
