Full disclosure: the babies we are naming are hens, not humans, so no need to worry about school bullying or job applications

Obviously Henrietta is on the list, open to any and all suggestions

Salmonella sounds posh and would suit a chicken.

That's hilarious!

I refer the spelling Egg-Weaner.

Interested to know why you have suddenly resurrected this thread @LePetitMarseillias . Presumably OP has long since named her hens, now 18 months old.
What did you decide on @TakeTheMomentAndTasteIt ?
