I keep a lot of lists.
Midwest Funny Farm Hatch Commencing...
And some prescription medication?
LOL!! Gotta love the little peeps!!! ;)
Wine in lieu of prescription medication, works wonders. :-)
The question was asked....and the answer is....
87.
Are you sure? I think you might have missed one.
LOL!! Now what are their names???? hehehe ;)
I knew somebody was going to ask me that, Sewincircle!!
The person who asked it has to come up with their names! Ha!
If you tell me which ones are male and which female, Claire, I'd be happy to help...but you don't get many vetoes. But first how many of each...
I see Babs and Louie, jewel and gem, Lucy and Ricardo, Abbot and Costello, Ren and Stimpy, Sonny and Cher, ...
I see Mutt and Jeff, Peter and Paul, Mary , Puff, sweetie and tweety.....
Sylvestre and Sylvie
Hmmmm....as a non-TV-watcher, I am not familiar with those names, but I am guessing they are TV names. I am a book reading fiend. I would probably be choosing Heathcliff and Charlotte and such. That's why I tend to go with food or other related names, like Butterscotch and Cookie and Coffee, and then there are gemstone names, like Opal and Topaz and such.
But I do not know how many of each....yet....
Captain Wentworth sounds well in a drawing room....provided he doesn't crow too loud...
Oh! Now you're talkin!
I think you will find you have a Wickham.
Catscan....you are absolutely right. How did I not even notice? Wentworth and Wickham. Now if I could just pick them out of this feeding/drinking frenzy photo from this morning.
Aunty Norris and Mr Crawford...always liked him better than Edmund anyway...
Psssst.....feeding video available here:

Billy weighs in with names Superman, Speed and Spiderman...
Thelma, Louise, Charlotte, and Biff.
Scaret and Rett, Romeo and Juliet, ...
Chick feeding frenzy!!! Who needs shark week when you have chicks!!! hehehe
Sorry Claire, shark week is a Discovery Channel shark week long event where they show shark feeding frenzys. (I forgot you dont watch TV) I will start thinking of book names, unfortunately I am reading a lot of Ecenomics now so we will have names like GDP and Per capita, expansion and such. Not very fun names!!! :(
Oh, but Economic theorists, like Keynes and those guys, we could have a roo named Keynes...
Now I kinda like the sound of that....manly, on a roostery sort of way...
Wickham is the one in the back seducing Lydia.
That works!! I am also studying Geography so we can use land formations...Delta, and Drumlin. :D!!!
Catscan - are you sure? I could've sworn that was Casanova.
Sewincircle! Excellent names. Delta, Drumlin - I'll add Moraine and Fjord.
Kelly has just suggested "Glacial Erratic" but I said no to that one.
No, I'm sure. Look for a red coat with brass buttons and shiny black boots. He'll probably have a pack of playing cards on him.
Well goodness me, you're so right! I scarcely noticed the boots among the horde.
Where is Heathcliff? Probably off by himself somewhere on a pile of shavings, staring moodily into the distance.
Oh I like the geography names. See what country they originated from and there you go! Origin: The Australorp was developed in Australia so maybe a roo could be called Jabiru or Darwin. Campine were developed in Belgium so how about Wavre or Hasselt.
Wooohooo! Fun with geography!!! I like Glacier Ice for a blue or splash...hmmmm Your DH could have been onto something...hehehe They are all just so precious like gemstones!
OK, so the thing is, since so many look the same, how will I make all the little name tags that say "Hello, My name is Glacier Ice" etc. stick to their little feathers?
Find the stupidest one and name him Mr. Collins! Balances out Wickham.
Dog tags?
Oh...didnt think of that. I dont think the chicks want to have the whole waxing experience. LEG BANDS!!! Thats it...Put numbers leg bands that match up to a clip board of names...YA!!!! Thats it!!
I have spiral leg bands but they are colors, not numbers. Groan...
Small marking pen.
Think wine stem markers -a little ring on each one and then a name...
PINGO! Name one Pingo. That's my favorite formation.
So here are the girls so far....
