A Chicken with No Name


Remember the knitting project I said I couldn't show you until after it was delivered? Here it is- new home with author friend Jean. And that fluffy brown lump in front of her? That is real live chicken, Mr. Millie, who came to the event today to help sell books.

Before the chickee could go live with Jean, she took a tour of my yard.

She liked the garden best.

And Mr. Millie does a good job of selling books. And the chicken I brought is supervising, but Jean wants help to name her. Suggest names and I'll pass them on to Jean. Or go to her Jean Davis Facebook page and post suggestion there.


It's been a long day- all good. I did quite well at the event. But now I have to place a book order yet tonight, and then I can rest.

How about Eggatha Christie. The chicken is really cute. I never would have guessed you were making that.

Java Bean: "Ayyy, is this like that Horse with No Name that went through the desert that one time?"
Lulu: "Our Dada says they were at a meerkat rescue one time that had a chicken named Rooster Cluckburn, but I think that name is only applicable to boy chickens with no names ..."

Ann- cute! I will pass that on.

Bean- it is very much like the horse.

Lulu- you are correct, this is a girl chicken. Although Mr. Millie got named Millie when it was thought he was a girl chicken!
