New Girl Name Game

The New Girl Hen was the prettiest one in the chicken house, so I chose her to come and be number four at TheThreeChickenFarm. She has beautiful slender black and white pinstripe feathers diagonally swirled around her head and neck. Her ample body is covered with dark rust brown feathers decorated with faint white spots and silver edging. Her fluffy hen butt is a lovely mix of charcoal and chalk gray feathers. Next time you have a chance, check out a fluffy hen butt. It is fluffy-full of the softest feathers. They must be for cushioning eggs in the nest. Her strong legs and four long claw-tipped toes are pewter gray. Her wattle (the hangey down under-the-chin-stuff) is red. Her small, narrow red comb is perched a bit forward touching the beginning of her rather large beak. Large? It says ‘Vicious- keep your fingers away.’ It has a long, pointed hook, definitely a recessive Eagle gene in her DNA. It emphasizes her eyes that look at you with ‘I can see a mouse at 2 miles and swallow it before it reaches the safety of its hole.’ I scrolled through some chicken picture sites on the Internet. Her closest resemblance is to a hen whose mother was a Golden Phoenix. Wow! Apparently New Girl’s father had flown in on an afternoon breeze from some mysterious island. AND New Girl lays blue eggs. She has not completely fit in with the other three hens but is holding her own. They try to intimidate her because that is what chickens do, but it rarely works. She often stays atop the run overlooking her hen pen sisters, Lacey, Rosie and Goldilocks, probably imagining them as distance mice. If you are inspired to offer a name for this lovely hen, please add your suggestion in the ‘Comments’.
