The Orpies have names!

I couldn't think of any good names for the 4 Orpingtons so I just called them "the girls".  This afternoon, after watching Forte shag one of the Orpies for the second or third time today that I've seen, I told him, "I should just start calling you Hugh Hefner."  Then it hit me - I could name the Orpies after the Girls Next Door!  (I miss that show!)  So now we have Holly, Bridget, Kendra and Sara Jean.  SJ wasn't one of the original GNDs but she was on a few episodes and I always liked her.  So as far as I'm concerned, Forte is now Hef and he has his Girls. 

I wonder if the real Hef would mind me painting a Playboy bunny on the coop.  Hef, if you let me I promise I'll help you with a Chickens Next Door pictorial.

Riiiiight...

Advice for friends & family of first time chicken farmers.  Planting an egg from the 'fridge in a nest box is NOT funny, especially when a chicken is sitting on it when you find it AND when everybody is asking if there's an egg yet AND in this age of smartphones and Facebook/Blogger apps.

WE HAVE AN EGG!!!!!!

Holy crap!!!!
