Meet chickie, chickie, and Sophia aka Sophi. H.D. named his girl Sophia aka Sophi, not sure why, just because he liked it. Sophi is the little vanilla girl looking at the camera.
Sophi is a Buff Orpington, to her right is chickie #2 a really sweet Barred Rock (Plymouth Rock) girl, and in front her in the middle is a Silver Laced Wyandotte who is the bossy butt of the brooder box. When you take one of the other girls out she cheeps and cheeps and hops and flaps until they come back.
Sophi is hilarious. When she does her "bidness" she makes the loudest cheep. I think she is going to be the gal who loudly celebrates an egg when she lays one.
Tonight we took the girls to the garden while we cleaned their box. They were cheeping, scratching, jumping, running, flying. The funniest moment was when the Wyandotte decided that a dust bath was a good idea. She laid down in the dirt and WENT TO TOWN! H.D. was laughing so hard!
Since H.D. named his chicken Sophia I was thinking we should use the other Golden Girl names Dorothy, Rose, and Blanche. LOL...I still want to name my chicken Nugget, but that might be kind of wrong.
What do you think...what are some good chicken (hen) names?

More to come...

Seriously...the golden girl names would be hilarious. Please name them Blanche and Rose. PLEASE!
The one out in front is really BOSSY... I thought she might be more of a Dorothy. We are eventually (in a month or so) getting just one more so the gang would be complete with a Blanche or Rose.
LOL
It would only be funnier if they were all a Golden color.
Please name one of them Nugget!
