5/13-"B" Meet Our Flock - "Midge"

We have 6 assorted bantams.  It took us a few days to find all of their names, because each personality needed to be assessed to pick just the right one.   Not knowing what any of the individual breeds would be, we could potentially be WAY off picking an appropriate name for each one, but we tried our best, and I guess that time will tell if we got it right on the first try.  I did have one pre-requisite when choosing chicken names.  I really wanted each of the hens to have "old-fashioned" names.

So, we have two yellow-orange ones. This is the color we think of when we think of baby chicks. Like the color of egg yolks.  One is quite small, about the size of a half dollar coin.  Like a midget chicken.  And very much a loner.  She peeps quite loudly, but generally, is pretty quiet overall.  I decide to call her Midge.  She is practically weightless.  

Each of them has a wonderful, funny personality already.  And we are happy to get to know them more and more each day.
