Names

T.S. Eliot tells us that the naming of cats is a "difficult matter, it isn't just one of your holiday games." Well, with 22 chicks, we had some lively discussions about the naming of hens.  Our daughter wanted to name them after book characters and Greek goddesses.  And the Polish chicks were given honorary names.  Hence the following:

Polish chicks
Ruthie
Amy
Stevie
Annabeth
Rosie


Barred Plymouth Rocks - after Harry Potter
Harrietta
Rhonda
Jenny
Tonks
Belatrix 
Narcissa
If the 6th chick turns out to be a rooster, we will alter his name


Rhode Island Reds - named after Pretty Little Liars
Aria
Hannah
Alison
Emily
Spenser
And we were given an extra chick that may be a rooster - Toby

Americaunas, named after Greek Goddesses
Hera
Artemis
Iris
Demeter
Lou - we know Lou is not a Greek Goddess, but she was named when we thought she might be a polish chick.  She is lovely, all white, with angelic wings.
