My gf has been collecting names for hens for years, in the hope that one
day I'll consent to having some hens to attach them to.

Our two latest ones are Oprah (because she's a big black bird) and
Catherine (because she's a ginger like Ms. Tate). Some bod on the

think is a superb name for a chicken.

[1] Seriously, if you think ukrm is odd, you've never visited a
chicken keepers' web forum.
