Look what’s in my garage right now.
And, look what’s inside.
Three baby chicks! I blame it all on Chrissy. Ok, not really, but looking at those cuties oven on her EnviroMom blog got me thinking, and no good can come from that.
Hubby and I had been talking about getting a few chicks to keep Gimpy company and so we would have a few more eggs, I egg a day just isn’t cutting it for a family of four. (yes, Emma, I have your standing order for eggs) Hubby went to the feed store for chicken feed this morning and when he came home he cleaned out the brooder packed us into the car and we drove back to the feed store to get chicks. So, now we have three little peepers.
Now for the contest: ÂÂ
What did we name the chicks?
Guess what we named the chicks and win sock yarn! Here are some clues:
-
we bought three chicks: a Buff Orpingon, a Rhode Island Red, and a Silver Laced Wyandotte
-
there is a theme to all their names: Country Music
-
two are named for singers, one is named for a band
Leave a comment with your guess and the first one to get all three correct will win enough yarn for six pair of socks:
clockwise from top left: 100g Regia Cotton Surf Color, 100g Meilenweit Fantasy, 100g Regia Cotton Surf Color, 150g Opal 6ply, 2-50g Knit Picks Sock Garden - Star Gazer Lilly, 2-50g Knit Picks Essential Solid - Ash
Here are my guesses:
1. Roy Orbison (Roy for short).
2. Red Hot Rooster (just Red for short).
3. Wynona Judd (Wy for short)
Can’t wait to hear the names you picked. Thanks for a little late-night procrastination and Google-use!
Red & Country make me think of Reba. Which then leads me to Dolly for the Buff (blonde?). Then… you know how those ADD brains work… to Kenny Rogers for the silver.
But then there’s no band. Hmm.
Little Red Hen is a place. Red Foley… again, no band. I suppose it could be Red Meat, but a) chicken is white meat, and b) you aren’t planning on eating these little sweeties.
Silver has me stumped. Buff… Bare Naked Ladies is hardly country music. But awfully good.
I give up.

My guess is Reba, Wynona and Rascal Flats! :)
well i don’t know anything about country music so i lose :) not that i don’t have enough sock yarn as it is! but those little chick a roos are tooooo cute. bet the kiddies are loving them!
They’re so cute! Alas, I don’t know anything about country music… I would’ve guess Winken, Blinken, and Nod. :)
They are so cute! I’d guess but their names were already spilled to me on Saturday so that wouldn’t be fair :)
It was fun knitting with you! How are the swatches?
My guess is Dixie, Wynona, and Reba.
Found you via Chris @ stumbling over chaos…
How about Reba, Dolly, and Dixie (for the dixie chicks)? Fun contest! :)
So cute! Here are my guesses:
Dixie, Garth and Dolly
Bearing in mind that I do not listen to country music, so these are the only 3 country music singers that I know of. :)
Too cute! I say… Willie, Dolly, and Dixie!
I love contest and so I’m jumping onto the band wagon with this! Cute chicks!
They’re so cute!
So, so cute! It’s hard to see baby chicks and not want some.
Ooooh, they are so darn cute! Have fun with them
I’m guessing, Winona, Shenandoah, and Travis. What fun! I keep trying to talk my hubbo into getting some egg-layers but he keeps reminding me that we live in town.
Good thing the contest is now random cause I know nothing about country and western music!!
Those chicks are adorable!
they are so gorgeous:)
Those chicks are adorable! I had a friend who used to raise chicks in his art studio. They were so cute, as are yours. Congratulations and good luck with them!
Those are some adorable chicks!
so cute … dixie [ for the dixie chicks obviously ]
reba and dolly for the blonde and the redhead
Very cute little chicks, and very well named. Congrats on your new additions.
woy just found your blog - love it! your chicks are so very cute! and thier names are perfect - though Im a little partial to reba she is extra cute!!!!
Those are cute chicks. I would have have got two of the names right but been way off on the third *g*
I’m enjoying reading your blog :)
Super, so glad you got gimpy some friends…let me know if ya want some 5 to 6 mos old gals, would be happy to bring you a few Dozen (((((wink)))))
Cyndi :P
Just came to your blog through Stumbling Over Chaos. I’ve enjoyed looking through it.
I would have guessed Dixie chicks also. They are adorable! do they make a lot of noise?
Well I’m a sucker for prizes…. ;-) And for sweet little animal babies. Those chicks are adorable!!!
No clue on the names, so I too am glad of a bit of randomness. The chicks sure are cute! I’m such a softie for baby animals, it’s quite a good thing I usually only get to see them on other folks’ blogs ;*)
awwwwww baby chickies
Cute chickies!
They’re adorable!
Love the names! They are so sweet!
Chickies! wish you had some audio of them, i love to hear them peep!

I’m planning a hostile takeover of the HOA we’re forced to live under so I can have fresh eggs every day, too. :o) Thanks for the adorable pictures. It has been a long time since I listened to country music, but I’m sure that one of them’s gotta be Wynonna. ;o)
OMG! They are too cute! How do you not spend the day squishing them into your cheeks??
My four footed children suggested Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner….. no wet food for them.
They’re darling. Someday. Right with the sheep, goats and Llama.
They are so cute. My grandparents had baby chicks often when I was little. I used to love petting them (until they got their feathers lol).
