Wasted too much time but I needed something (sort of) silly to take my mind off of some serious things that were consuming me. So here's some (way too many) ideas: Gayle & Oprah Mary Ann & Ginger Telma & Joyce (Dawn from Tony Orlando) Alice & Trixie (Honeymooners) Betty & Wilma (or Wilma & Pebbles) Demeter & Persephone Liza & Judy Melanie (Griffith and her mom) Tippi (Hedren from "The Birds" though I think it would be even funner to have a Tippi and Alfred -- rooster -- duo). Scout & Rumor Elizabeth Cady Stanton & Susan B. Anthony Artemis & Selene (Luna & Diana) or Selene & Eos Buddhi & Siddhi or Siddhi & Riddhi Naomi, Wynonna & Ashley (Judd) Michelle (Phillips) w/ daughters Chynna & Mckenzie. Joan & Melissa (Rivers) Kate (Hudson) & Goldie (Hawn) Fanny (Farmer) & Betty (Crocker) Rosarita & Zoe (Sesame Street) SOME SISTERS: Meg, Jo, Beth & Amy Charlotte, Emily & Anne (Brontë) Vanessa & Lynn (Redgrave) Britney & Jamie Lynn (Spears) Jessica & Ashlee (Simpson) And my fave of the sisters: Haylie Duff & Hilary Duff (Orphington) ==== FIRST LADIES (Dolley, Martha, Lady bird, Eleanor, Mamie, Jacqueline, Rosalynn...) ==== SOME CHEFS: Rachael Ray Nigella Lawsons Alice Waters Caprial Pence "Ratatouille," Colette Julia Child SPLIT NAMES: Cleo/Patra Kitty/Kat Tine/Daly Maya/Angelou Pearl/Bailey Ruby/Dee Henriette/Delille ==== If you had Barred Rocks I'd suggest these: Joan Jett Pat Benatar Lita Ford Janis Joplin Marianne Faithfull Cyndi Lauper Avril Lavigne Annie Lennox Courtney Love Shirley Manson Alanis Morissette Pink Poe Grace Slick Gwen Stefani Tina Turner Bonnie Tyler Ann & Nancy Wilson Sharon & Kelly Osbourne Sunny & Cher (or Chastity) Including these: Theo, Gina, Squid, Sindi (from the Lunachicks) Martie, Emily, Laura, Robin Lynn (Dixie Chicks) Magenta & Columbia (as well as Janet -- Rocky Horror) ==== But most of all since these are (close to) Easter Chicks then I'd go for chocolate names but not just any chocolate since these are no slave chicks: Rapunzel, Dagoba, Cocoa Camino, El Ray, Vivani, Grenada, Ithaca, Alma, Rapunzel, Divine, Sojourn, La Siembra, Omanhene, Terra Nostra, Shaman ==== ==== I'm glad you have new chicks. I hope you'll keep us updated so we can see what they turn out to be. I find that fascinating and my current personal favorite breed are the Wyandottes. I have serious henvy! But I am curious about how Danny is doing. I became quite attached to her and was so sad to see her go. Thanks so much for this challenge. Wasted too much time but I needed something (sort of) silly to take my mind off of some serious things that were consuming me. So here’s some (way too many) ideas:

Gayle & Oprah
Mary Ann & Ginger
Telma & Joyce (Dawn from Tony Orlando)
Alice & Trixie (Honeymooners)
Betty & Wilma (or Wilma & Pebbles)
Demeter & Persephone
Liza & Judy
Melanie (Griffith and her mom) Tippi (Hedren from “The Birds” though I think it would be even funner to have a Tippi and Alfred — rooster — duo).
Scout & Rumor
Elizabeth Cady Stanton & Susan B. Anthony
Artemis & Selene (Luna & Diana) or Selene & Eos
Buddhi & Siddhi or Siddhi & Riddhi
Naomi, Wynonna & Ashley (Judd)
Michelle (Phillips) w/ daughters Chynna & Mckenzie.
Joan & Melissa (Rivers)
Kate (Hudson) & Goldie (Hawn)
Fanny (Farmer) & Betty (Crocker)
Rosarita & Zoe (Sesame Street)

SOME SISTERS:
Meg, Jo, Beth & Amy
Charlotte, Emily & Anne (Brontë)
Vanessa & Lynn (Redgrave)
Britney & Jamie Lynn (Spears)
Jessica & Ashlee (Simpson)

And my fave of the sisters:
Haylie Duff & Hilary Duff (Orphington)

====
FIRST LADIES (Dolley, Martha, Lady bird, Eleanor, Mamie, Jacqueline, Rosalynn…)

====
SOME CHEFS:
Rachael Ray
Nigella Lawsons
Alice Waters
Caprial Pence
“Ratatouille,” Colette
Julia Child

SPLIT NAMES:
Cleo/Patra
Kitty/Kat
Tine/Daly
Maya/Angelou
Pearl/Bailey
Ruby/Dee
Henriette/Delille

====
If you had Barred Rocks I’d suggest these:

Joan Jett
Pat Benatar
Lita Ford
Janis Joplin
Marianne Faithfull
Cyndi Lauper
Avril Lavigne
Annie Lennox
Courtney Love
Shirley Manson
Alanis Morissette
Pink
Poe
Grace Slick
Gwen Stefani
Tina Turner
Bonnie Tyler
Ann & Nancy Wilson
Sharon & Kelly Osbourne
Sunny & Cher (or Chastity)

Including these:

Theo, Gina, Squid, Sindi (from the Lunachicks)
Martie, Emily, Laura, Robin Lynn (Dixie Chicks)
Magenta & Columbia (as well as Janet — Rocky Horror)

====

But most of all since these are (close to) Easter Chicks then I’d go for chocolate names but not just any chocolate since these are no slave chicks:

Rapunzel, Dagoba, Cocoa Camino, El Ray, Vivani, Grenada, Ithaca, Alma, Rapunzel, Divine, Sojourn, La Siembra, Omanhene, Terra Nostra, Shaman

I’m glad you have new chicks. I hope you’ll keep us updated so we can see what they turn out to be. I find that fascinating and my current personal favorite breed are the Wyandottes. I have serious henvy!

But I am curious about how Danny is doing. I became quite attached to her and was so sad to see her go.

And I meant to ask you how/why you bought from Privettes, when most people tend to buy from McMurray. I bought our chickens from Privette's, too. But mostly because they are local to us and I figured the chicks would be less stressed not having ot travel so far. Oh!

I really want chicks!!! None of the feed stores around here have chicks. I'd have to drive about an hour to get them. And we aren't allowed to have chicks here anyway. How exciting!

Check out all those names! Now I'm going to have to spend the next week pondering them all! Good thing I can't start to name them until we can tell them apart. Everyone still looks good - no pasty butts so far. Hopefully tomorrow will go just as well. Wow! Check out all those names! Now I’m going to have to spend the next week pondering them all!

Only the small feed store down the street for straw and chicken feed... They never have a good selection of livestock, so I'm safe there.

How exciting!! I'll be sure to come back for future updates of your little chickies. I was going to say Betty and Wilma, too. BUt I'm not the one to give you great chick names because some of my own pullets are still not named! My kids were a big help in naming several of them, but mostly I just call them "Ladies", or "Chickies" or "Girls". I have two of everything, too, except for 3 Ameracaunas. I don't have names for my two Silver Laced Wyandotte Sisters yet, but just call them "The Silver-Laced Wyandotte Sisters" They are inseparable and I am sure they gossip with each other about their henmates and even me! Got any ideas for a pair of uppity, snob sisters? I just had a lightbulb moment for your co-names. How about branching out to non-female names? Like: salt & pepper Peanut Butter and Jelly (Peanut & Jelly) salsa and chips yin and yang barnes & noble peaches and cream cheese and crackers s'getti & meatballs apple pie & ala mode fudge & nuts Ooooh!! How exciting!! I’ll be sure to come back for future updates of your little chickies.
