Introducing...
Maggie, our Barred Rock chick. She seems to be at the top of the pecking order so far so her name was inspired by Margaret Thatcher, who like her or dislike her, was one tough woman.
Clementine, our Buff Orpington. Clementine should grow up into a big fluffy orange chicken. Clementines are sweet little oranges. The name just fit perfectly.
And finally Sookie, our Easter Egger/Americauna. John Updike's "The Witches of Eastwick" had a Sukie character who was kind and quirky. There is a Sookie in "True Blood," a series of popular vampire books that became an HBO series. Sookie in these books is not a vampire, but a nice girl who sympathizes with them. We liked the name because it's different and just seemed to fit our little chick that will grow up into a unique-looking adult chicken!

Well done, and look how they are growing!
We need more baby pictures!
They're so cute and I love the names! Great Job
Good choices. They fit.
Love the names, so fitting. I can't imagine what the neighbors will be thinking when they hear you call out: Sookie...Clementine.. Maggie
Of course your neighbors know you have 2 boy's. Interesting!
Your names are very fitting!
Those are great names - I especially love "Clementine". Chickens DO have personalities and pecking order! You are going to have so much fun with them :)
Great names - and you did a great job on the chick photography! I am especially impressed with your portrait of Sookie - nice work.
Awww...thanks guys! We're loving these little girls. They're so funny to watch - they are really quirky little things!
I found you via The Crafty Crow when she shared your post on garden markers. My FIL just gave us six Barred Rock chicks so I've been reading anything I can on chickens. I saw you had them & started reading. Just wanted to say, "hi" & I'll be back to read more! ;-)
