Mr. Chicken Chick and I attended The Northeastern Poultry Congress this weekend and had a BLAST! I’ll be sharing photos from it later this week when I get a chance to catch my breath. Between the poultry show, trying to keep the flock safe in the sub-zero temperatures and snow we’ve been suffering through and writing a few magazine articles, it’s been crazy busy, but I promise I will share photos of some amazing chickens and other fancy poultry I visited at the show.
Mr. Chicken Chick chose these two Bantam Dark Cornish pullets at the poultry show. Since he named Bertha, I named these two Thelma & Louise. Louise already escaped once inside the house. I’m going to have to keep a close eye on this pair lest they live up to their names.

I've had chickens for 35 years, I prefer Barnvelders, Marans, & Welsummers for those beautiful chocolate colored eggs.
I also raise KuneKune Pigs and believe it or not they all get along fine in the yard!
I had two chicks named Thelma and Louise, they ended up being Larry and Redneck. LOL!!!!! Congrats on your new feather babies :)
I think Amelia Bedelia would be a nice name for your BO pullet. Or Cornelia. Or Camilla. I'm partial to British names for them. That feeder would be very useful here for our little backyard operation. Thank you for all the helpful tips.
