The Palais des Poulets' New Court

The Royal Court of the Palais des Poulets officially doubled on February 9th when 2 day old chicks arrived. We ordered 10 Ameraucana chicks (the blue/green/pink layers), 10 Buff Orpington chicks (voluptuous strawberry blondes like yours truly), and 5 Brown Leghorns (plus a free fancy breed we have yet to determine).
We have also started an Adopt a Chick program with our current egg clients. They get naming rights to the chick of their choice. We have taken the liberty of naming some ourselves based upon their outstanding personalities. Below is a line up of some chicks who have already made names for themselves.
Lola, the Showgirl
Dolly Parton, the big breasted blonde
Patricia, the Bully (she is very jealous of Dolly especially although they are almost identical)
Chick Norris, the Peacemaker (she puts the beat down on Patricia several times a day when she starts acting bitchy)
Catfish, the Gasper (poor Catfish went through a bout of hiccups for several days. Jay said she looked like a catfish gasping for air.)
Sponsored chicks: JennyVergos, Dabney Millar, and HENrietta Brown. There are still 16 working girls for "hire".

I really want to name a rooster, Uncle Swep, after a dearly-loved great uncle, Swepson. Uncle Swep was always the first one up in the morning, and his voice commanded attention. He, also, had dark bushy eyebrows that looked like feathers.
