Sassy
We recently brought home a few more chickens and naming them has been fun… but we have one yet to go.
My FB friend Jack suggested a chicken-naming contest.
Love it!
So far we have:
Nugget
Nugget the Hungry- The yellow Leghorn, Leader of the Pack and the first to the food.
Pertelote the Pretty- Our White Leghorn, named from Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales
Lucy the Loving but Loud- A Rhode Island Red name after Lucille Ball that makes more noise than any of the others.
Pooka- The smallest of the Ladies, an Americauna named for the mythical creature.
Sassy (Short for Sasquatch)- our pretty Brahma that Mandolin thought resembles another creature.
Robin the Hood- our magnificent Black Americauna that flew 6 ft. straight up and a good 20 Ft. away from the coop, the first day we had her. Geez. Mandolin also named her, but not for her amazing feat- he thought she looked like she was wearing a black hood.
Pertelote
And then there’s…
Robin and ?
So leave a comment with your idea for a name suggestion for our latest Americauna.
All I can tell you is that she’s ‘blonder’ or ‘more golden’ than Pooka, yet gentle. She’s also comparatively big.
I’ll let SaveTheWorld choose the name from all those ideas before the weekend is over.
The winning suggestion will receive this Pop-Up Herb Planter!

Hey- it’s just a name for a chicken 
NOTE: 11/28/11 Rhanks all for so many great names! SaveTheWorld chose the name Cheese Wiz- so the planter goes to Susan Preston. Congrats Susan!
The first contest.
