Now back in Idaho it was time to pick up the chickens we had been planning for.
I think there was only a small moment of panic as we drove out into the farmland west of town. Once we picked the girls out and had them in a box headed home, the reality set in. We have three large birds that will now be living in our backyard.
Everyone made it home in great shape, including the foul ladies. Then came the challenge of naming them.
The Welsummer is red and she's quite a spitfire so I decided her name is Lucy.

Jordan wanted to name one Lola and we figured this best fit the Black Australorp so there ya go.

The Ameraucana was a challenge and not until I went out this afternoon calling her Sugar for lack of a better name did it occur to me. So we named her Sugar.

All three are very sweet, although yes, Lucy gets a bit riled up when you grab her by the legs to clip her wing feathers, I don't blame her really.
We were even blessed with our very first egg this afternoon- and they haven't even been in their new house for a whole day.
