Purplemaniacs Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Oh no I am judging (archery) all day tomorrow and with the loss of another girl I could have done with a little chicken looking I will need to add some next year so it might have given me lots of ideas.

soapdragon Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Suggestions on a postcard to Banbury, please! (Dippy and Dottie/Dottie and Spotty - as they are Wyandottes ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 As a clue, the last two newbies were Elsie the Welsummer, and Millie the Millefleur Pekin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 What about Cagney and Lacey??? Like in silver and gold laced? In honor of the brilliant reruns on BBC2! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mullethunter Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Going on your last ones surely they've got to be Ann and Dot! Not as good as Cagney and Lacey though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 Anne (with an E) could be good as it's my mother's name. I already have a Dot (Dorothy) though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Well... If not Cagney and Lacey... (Sorry but you can't trump it...) What about Witte (pronounced as Witty) Wi(ando)tte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Cags and Lacey is still good. But one could be Nicky and the other Carrie ("Ooops, word censored!"nic and old Lace - and Cary Grant) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 What about 'why' and 'and' if you've already got Dot. That will confuse the vet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will confuse the vet LIke that one... my chooks never go to the vet though. We used to have 2 rabbits, which Rosie called Hunny Bunny and Cupcake - caused laughter when the vet called us in!
