For a little while now, Jared and I have been talking about getting chickens. I never thought I’d want to have chickens, but after hearing that one of our neighbors has them, I became curious and did some more research on getting chickens.<\/p>\n

After a few attempts where I thought that things weren’t going to work out, but today we went on a little drive and picked up four chicks that are certified pullets (females), meaning that if they turn out to be roosters we can do an exchange. While I know we are allowed chickens, we may not be allowed roosters (the law was a bit confusing- plus I don’t really want to deal with the noise).<\/p>\n

We have two Ameracaunas (sometimes called Easter Eggers for their blue\/green eggs) and two Plymouth Rocks- Buff and Partridge.<\/p>\n

Meet the chickens:<\/p>\n

Jared is really fond of the coloration of the Plymouth Rock that I have labeled “his”, so he is in charge of naming her in the next week or two. I named the other Plymouth “Fliza Minnelli.” I couldn’t help it.<\/p>\n

Now we need two good names for “The Twins”- our two Ameracaunas. I jokingly suggested “Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum” but Jared thought that was degrading to the chickens. (Because the insult “bird brain” came from nowhere, right?)<\/p>\n

Any good ideas of literary heroines, particularly twins, that we could give them? We’re open to ideas! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
