Some one suggested Einstein, and Phyllis (Diller).
Mopsy, Topsy, Tuft, Duster (as in feather)and Hawk (the crested one in the picture facing left)
Perhaps by the end of the day I will think of something more suitable for a punk band.

Don’t know how much you are in to children’s picture books (I’m an elementary librarian and collect them) but every time I see your little cluckers I think of Jan Brett’s most recent retelling of Cinderella. “Cinders”. It’s all told with chickens. Seeing your chickies with the poofy hairdos reminds me of this book every time. As with all things Jan Brett the illustrations are gorgeous. Personally, I would love to have a chicken coop just like the one in the book.

Shreve, I popped in to say I’m rereading your book The Daily Coyote and it’s even more inspiring this second time ’round. I encourage everyone to read this book.
April 29th, 2014 @ 11:45 am
I don’t know why, but they all give me a girl vibe, so it needs to be a girl punk rock band name. Dixie Chicks is already taken. LOL
