I nemed ours after the characters in the Swallows and Amazons books, first we had Nancy and Peggy, later we got Susan. With Susan I was unable to catch her, she'd run away, but when I got chicks for the girls to look after, the other 2 turned on her and she started sleeping in a bucket by the back door. One day as I was playing with my daughter and her doll's house, Susan climbed through the window of the dollshouse and plonked herself in my lap. Such a wonderful memory.<BR/><BR/>I had to give my girls away when I moved. <BR/><BR/>As for names, I'd probably go for names from Jane Austin's books, Elizabath, Jane, Mrs Bennet, Anne etc. <BR/><BR/>Glad you are feeling better than yesterday. <BR/><BR/>take care<BR/>CherylCheryl@Gingerbread Craftshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12189189331024564663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-24732798079097961192008-03-21T10:06:00.000+10:002008-03-21T10:06:00.000+10:00Rhonda, I'm so pleased you have more chooks.
