Lemme look at the list a minute, strong or hopeful names huh?

Oh my, you have D'Uccles eggs! For name, I like Elpida, but you already have that in English, and I think I do way too many Greek names to begin with. So one D'Uccles egg named Star, for me please!

 

[Obsessed With Silkies]

Okay! I've thought of names! I'll name the Chocolate Silkie Dutchess and the Swedish Flower Hen Lacey.

This long awaited hatch a long has now gone live, I am super pumped!

Ok, it's morning and my brain has not yet reached its thinking capacity, not that it does when I'm fully awake, .... can/do we pick two eggs from any group? I definitely want to root for one of the Chocolates, but the Ermines have my heart melting. ❤

You have been a light in the dark, a shoulder to cry on, and a hand lifting me up when I've felt like I can't go on, I will mark you down for a chocolate and an Ermine!

It's disappointing to follow someone and it doesn't lead you to their "posting feed", so in this respect It's kind of a useless function. But in the spirit of BYC and it's wonderful community, it's a nice gesture/friendship kind of thing to do. ❤

Yay, I'm now following you!

I have a Star from the last hatch, I would be very happy with Elpida if that is ok with you?

 

[fluffycrow]

I'd be more than happy!

Perfect! Is it pronounced different than a typical English pronunciation?

Yes. I don't think I can explain it well, so here's a link to a site that offers two pronunciations. The first sounds more natural
