The Daily Hen has just posted that Princess is no longer the Princess...but is the Queen! Of course this does not mean she takes Moi's place, but this means she has two chicks hatched Sunday.
The Mrs. has asked me to publish a contest naming the two chicks.
Submit a name for a Rooster and and name for a Hen.
The winner will win time at the Ritz as well as their picture in the Daily Hen!
Contest will end August 1st. (By then we might know what sex we have!!!

A New Day
Life is wonderful here at "The Ritz"...., actually I thought it could not get any better until I woke up this morning to a strange noise in our hen house! I knew that Princess was up to something when she stayed out late one night, but what could I say. Not only did she loose her glass slipper, she lost her mind!!!
About a 3 weeks ago she absolutely would not get off that nest for the "working" girls to lay their eggs. We had to just push her off and then she would climb back on as soon as they got off. You remember, I don't lay, and I have a new job now and it's the anchor woman for "The Ritz" and I have my wings full with that. These girls started quite a ruckus about that "Princess". They really had her "pecked" as a "you know what"! Well, I didn't report what they were saying b/c I had more trust in princess than they did. You should have heard their cackling about her!!!
After a few days of just sitting, the Mrs. realized that sweet "Princess" was wanting to NEST!!! Oh, my! I overheard an conversation with her friend, Lois and she said might get some fertile eggs for "The PRINCESS". Well that was a good story in itself. The Mrs. has some friends who are the in-laws of her daughter and low and behold they had some relatives (Sissy and Leon) who had some neighbors WHO had some fertile eggs! The Mrs. got a call from these relatives that their neighbors had some eggstra eggs they had not put in the frig....so Lois jumped in the car with The Mrs. and took off to I'm not sure where, and got the eggs from those lucky hens who have a rooster in their house! Oh, MY!!!
After that little trip we just hid and watched as Princess turned into a Mean Ole Queen!.
I am not sure this story can end, but The Mrs. has company coming for G-man's BD and she is not worth plucking when she has things to do....so tune in tomorrow and I will tell you what happened!
