After really wanting chickens for what seemed like several centuries but believing I didn't have the space, I started reading up about them and realised I DO have the space

So here they are!!!

Ah, it's my Snowy, Lady and Bree when they were ickle!

Congrats Rosey, I bet you are having fun watching them. Are you going to name them and if so what?

Oooohhhh how lovely! Now you have to think of some wonderfully apt names! Don't worry - they'll probably name themselves after a couple of days! And after a wee while they'll have middle names too - we currently have one called "Lotty Bu**er lugs Pain in the A*se!" They really are good fun and the eggs are fabby! Enjoy!

Blackie, Whitey and Ginger? Everyone has a Ginger. Or else something very ladylike like Henrietta or Penelope.

We have a Brehenda and a Meghen and a Mocca because the first thing she did was jump on OHs knee and stick her head in his coffee cup!

I don't know whether to laugh or go red here. We picked three names before we got them and are waiting for their personalities to show through before we decide who's who. They're going to be
Milly
Molly
......and.....















Aunt Maud
Not named after MillyMollyMandy, there, as you probably guessed. OH chose the names because they are the characters from our little girl's favourite TV programme - Milly Molly. Aunt Maud is considered a 'snippy' character, with a bit of a sharp tongue, so whoever is top of the pecking order will get that name.

I hope you're not offended MMM

Maybe we should start calling MMM Aunt Maud!

I'm slightly jealous - still can't make my mind up - one week I definitely want some and the next not. Maybe best left for the time being eh?

awww they're lovely
I looked at chicken arks and I think i'd have to do without my veg garden to fit it in

oh they look good

well done!

My little flock all have names, Eliza, Martha, Mildred, Betty, Sally and Boo.

Well done, you'll have lots of fun.

Congratulations Rosey, they look lovely. You'll never go back!

Not at all, it's funny. I didn't know there was a telly programme called Milly Molly (but then I don't tend to watch childrens' TV!).

We've already had a trio of pigs called Milly, Molly and Mandy on this forum and I think there was another trio of some animal or bird called that too.

I'm sure you'll all have loads of fun with Milly, Molly and Aunt Maud.
